Get Warmer is the fourth full-length album by DIY collective Bomb the Music Industry!. This was the first BtMI! album to feature a live band, which was made up of over 20 different musicians. It is also the first BtMI! album to be released on CD with artwork and liner notes, via Asian Man Records in the United States[1] and Banquet Records in the United Kingdom.[2] It is also available free through Quote Unquote Records’ website.
Originally, the band were going to follow up 2006’s Goodbye Cool World with an EP entitled No No New York. This concept was abandoned in favor of recording this album. A song from the abandoned EP, entitled “The Soul Crushing Northeast” can be heard here .
“No Rest For the Whiny” was previously titled “Screamin’ for a Wage (a.k.a. 2006 World Series of Craig’s List Failure)”
The title track makes references to both Tom Waits and the Wham! single Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.
Unlike previous Bomb the Music Industry! albums, Get Warmer uses phone messages as samples in between songs rather than quotes from movies and TV shows.
