Reviews & press
- Student Brainfood ↗ — “Having heard of Sam and the Womp, formed back in 2009, from their smash electro‑dance hit, ‘Bom Bom’ back in 2012, I wasn’t sure what to expect from their live performance.”
- Music Republic Magazine ↗ — “Sam and The Womp are a group that’s unafraid of pushing the envelope. Their catalogue spans from Dub to Drum N Bass to big brass fuelled Balkan Funk and beyond!”
- Indie Music Discovery ↗ — “Sometimes a track comes along so catchy that it would be criminal if it were a one‑hit wonder, and ‘Bom Bom’ by Sam and the Womp was just such a track.”
