The New Bomb Turks are a garage punk band from Columbus, Ohio. They are part of an early 90's midwestern garage revival that included bands such as the Devil Dogs and Gaunt. The members are Jim Weber, Eric Davidson, Bill Randt, and Matt Reber (Sam Brown later replaced Bill Randt on drums). Musically, they are akin to the Dead Boys, The Pagans,The Sonics or the Troggs. Their lyrics are generally witty and humorous, but have serious themes underneath.

They have released over twenty singles, ten full length LPs, and a handful of EPs. Their early recordings appear on the Datapanik and Bag of Hammers labels. From there, they transitioned to Crypt Records, where they released two of their more popular albums, !!Destroy Oh-Boy!! and Information Highway Revisited. Next they released a string of LPs on Epitaph Records including Scared Straight and Nightmare Scenario. Their next album, The Night Before the Day the Earth Stood Still, appeared on Gearhead Records.

In addition to these albums, there are the many singles. The singles often contained unreleased tracks that are among the Turks' strongest material. There have been two b-side compilations released to date: Pissing Out the Poison and The Big Combo.

As of 2005, the New Bomb Turks have slowed down their touring and recording in order to pursue other interests. Jim Weber, Guitarist, is now a 10th and 11th grade English teacher at Hilliard Davidson High School. The band's name refers to the main character (Newbaum Turk) in 1980's "Hollywood Knights," played by Robert Wuhl (Arli$$).
