BOC: TYRANNY & STAGNATION
And now, the band: Eric Bloom—often the frontman vocally and utility guitarist/keyboard player instrumentally. His attempts at being macho and/or freaky just point up the human side of the band. Making up for his deficiencies in lung power and charisma with energy and enthusiasm, the guy makes it all work somehow.

And now, the band:
Eric Bloom—often the frontman vocally and utility guitarist/keyboard player instrumentally. His attempts at being macho and/or freaky just point up the human side of the band. Making up for his deficiencies in lung power and charisma with energy and enthusiasm, the guy makes it all work somehow. And did I mention his sense of humor? Can you imagine Robert Plant singing “She’s As Beautiful As A Foot” or “7 Screaming Diz-Busters”?
Albert Bouchard—until recently the drummer, best known for singing “Cities” and for his drum solo extravaganza during “Godzilla.” But he was also a prolific writer—he co-wrote half the tunes on Agents Of Fortune—and his hyperactive drumming style on the first couple of albums damn near made him the Tony Williams of rock ’n’ roll for awhile.
Joe Bouchard—bassist and vocalist. Joe’s concert feature has generally been the riff-snorting “Hot Rails To Hell,” but his more melodic “Morning Final” and “Nosferatu” ain’t too shabby either.
