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. Released at the end of summer in 2012, it exploded into the public consciousness as a love/hate track that divided dancefloors all over the UK.

Drawing on influences as diverse as brass bands and Balkan music, Bom Bom also had an aesthetically extravagant music video to match. An enthusiastic mixed-sex band with a penchant for wild dance moves completed the perfect storm which ensured Bom Bom was the sound of the summer.

And now, that sound is back! Following the departure of founding member Aaron Horn in 2014, trumpeter Sam Ritchie and singer songwriter Bloem de Wilde have returned with their brand new single, Posh Ragga.

It’s the first track from an album titled Bee Sides, comprised of B-sides which might not otherwise have ever seen the light of day. The band said: “The Bee Sides EP is a collection of previously unreleased songs that we think compliment each other, characteristically rich with fat brass and heavy bass, with a Balkan-Dub flavour, showing off our musicianship and experimental side. With the digital age B Sides have become a dated idea, but with this EP we are bringing back the concept and opening up a debate!”

Like Bom Bom the track features a characteristically bright, bold and beautiful music video of animated bees, that’s sure to tickle the fancy of anyone who enjoyed Bom Bom.
