Episode 125: Ryan Wayton of Tropic Bombs

On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Ryan Wayton of Tropic Bombs!

Hailing from Mike's hometown of Toledo, Ohio, Ryan (vocals, drums, producer) and Tropic Bombs stormed onto the Toledo music scene back in 2011. They quickly built a dedicated fan base with their high-energy live shows and fusion of rock, reggae, hip-hop, and even elements of metalcore vocals. Tropic Bombs released their debut LP Nuclear Honeymoon in 2012, EP Return to Bomber Bay in 2014, and several singles in the years since.

In this 2024 kickoff episode of the podcast, Ryan gives Mike an exclusive conversation to discuss Tropic Bombs' forthcoming new music and accompanying Kickstarter project entitled: "Escape From Bomber Bay: New Album Vinyl LP & Board Game!" Ryan talks with Mike about the project's influence of 80's action movies, Kurt Russell, retro gaming, board games, and the desire to create an exclusive package for fans that goes beyond the typical pre-orders with new music releases. 

This episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman also features the song "Reignite" from Tropic Bombs, available where you get your music!
