Madam Bombs is a garage rock trio from the LA suburbs of Simi Valley and Agoura Hills, comprised of bassist/vocalist Marlowe Shachory, guitarist/vocalist Claire FitzGerald and drummer/vocalist Samara Ellis. Inspired by 90s indie bands, Madam Bombs blends elements of grunge, punk and shoegaze over fuzzy guitar parts, unexpected bass lines, driving drums and harmonies that alternate between dissonant and ethereal.

Part of LA’s new indie and punk DIY scene, Madam Bombs have played 100+ shows in the LA area and beyond, including Permanent Records, Alex’s Bar in Long Beach, Redwood Bar and Grill, the Whisky-a-Go-Go, the Mayan Theater, Corbin Bowl, Garden Amphitheater's Locker Room, DiPiazza's in Long Beach, the Knitting Factory NoHo, Drom (NYC) and The Bitter End (NYC).  Their shows are known for a fierce energy that starts the mosh pit and keeps it going.

In 2022, their song “Get Me Out” landed on KCRW's "30 Favorite Songs of 2022." Madam Bombs were hand-picked by LA punk legend Shawn Stern of Youth Brigade to play at the Punk Rock Bowling festival in Las Vegas for both 2023 and 2024.

Their DIY ethos extends to clothing and merch, with Claire’s handpainted PRB festival pants and Marlowe’s custom bleached merch shirt both on display at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas.
