Bomb The Music Industry! was a music collective led by writer/producer Jeff Rosenstock from 2004 to 2014. They rose to notoriety by releasing albums for free download online before the practice became common for the industry. The first three albums are all recorded and performed by Jeff (sometimes in his own apartment), with friends of his playing various instruments and helping produce material as he would need it.

During early shows, Jeff would play along with the rest of his “band” by hitting play on his MP3 device. Audience members were encouraged to learn the material and join him on stage. Later on, he would even include random friends during touring cycles or just play with bands he was performing with—until further down in the band’s career when he nailed down a consistent roster. The aesthetic even spilled into their tour merch with “the band” burning CDs after the show and spray painting t-shirts for excited fans.
