Cats Against The Bomb

Cats Against The Bomb began at Essex University in 1999, when Adam Flood was in his own words from his official website: Sick of being in shit indie bands, going nowhere, sounding like everyone else (and without a decent drummer, so actually not even as good as everyone else). Top cat Floodman had a theory, and wanted to find if it held true. 
The theory was in two parts, and went something like this:"1. Anything that can be done in hardware can be done in software." "2. If Moore's law states that computing power doubles every 18 months, surely there must be enough power in a cheap home PC to muck about with sound like The KLF and Public Enemy did in the late 80's, and make an album out of it."Using a 90mhz First Universal Cybernetic Kinetic Universal Programmer PC with a colossal 16MB of RAM, and an entire 512MB of disk space, the debut album "Firecracker" was recorded and released on CD-R.

==Links to Peel==
Peel discovered Cats Against The Bomb through a demo tape and first played his material in January 2000. Impressed by the demo tracks, he invited the artist to do a session for his show in March 2000, which he performed four tracks, including a cover of Iggy Pop's 'Search And Destroy'. He nominated his album, 'Firecracker' as one of his records of the month for January 2000 (Peel's Record Box). After 2000, Cats Against The Bomb disappeared from the music scene and a follow up was released in 2005, by which time, Peel had died.
