Too often in punk's past, the female-fronted acts typically found themselves heading in one of two directions--the seemingly wild, estrogen-fueled, usually-brash vocalist who'll pay more attention to the show than the music, or the cutesy, bubbly princess vocalists that often lack the biting, decisive edge required to maintain an audience's attention.Tsunami Bomb is one of the rare and fortunate exceptions. Fronted by the pristine yet powerful vocals of AGENT M. (who claims Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong as a primary influence) and backed by a remarkable bassist MATT MCKENZIE, drummer GABE LINDEMAN and guitarist JAY NORTHINGTON, Tsunami Bomb has indeed effectively straddled the line of offering an potent, engaging live show, replete with enough stage energy to power an entire city block, without sacrificing their seasoned musicianship and attention to detail.

That summer, the band had returned for a third Warped Tour appearance, this time propelling the main stage for a solid third of the dates. "It's such a huge punk rock event," M says. "We were really grateful to be able to do that.
