Guns N' Bombs - Nothing Is Getting Us Anywhere

Review by Josh Jewer

Album Review: Nothing Is Getting Us Anywhere by Guns N’ Bombs Man, this album hit me like a surprise party I didn’t know I needed. Released back in 2006 on Kitsuné Music—a label that always seems to have its finger on the pulse—Nothing Is Getting Us Anywhere is one of those records that sneaks up on you. It’s not trying too hard, but damn if it doesn’t leave an impression. The duo behind it, Filip Nikolic and John Dal Santo, wear so many hats here (engineer, producer, songwriter), they might as well open a millinery shop. And guess what? They pull it off. Let’s talk about two tracks that stuck with me because, honestly, there’s no way you can listen to this thing without these tunes burrowing into your brain. First up: "Crossover Appeal." Oh man, this track feels like walking into a neon-lit arcade at midnight. You’re buzzing from whatever energy drink you just chugged, and suddenly everything clicks—life makes sense for three minutes straight. There’s something about the beat; it’s got this relentless groove that doesn’t let go. It’s house music with teeth, but also heart. Like, yeah, we’re all dancing robots right now, but we’re feeling robots, ya know? Every synth stab hits like a sparkler going off in your chest. By the time the breakdown comes around, you’re ready to hug strangers or maybe even cry in the club bathroom. Whatever works. Then there’s "Nothing Is Getting Us Anywhere," which sounds exactly how modern life feels sometimes—stuck between wanting more and wondering if “more” even exists anymore. But instead of being depressing, it’s oddly comforting. The electro vibe kicks in slow, like waking up after hitting snooze five times. When the bassline drops, though, holy crap—it’s like someone flipped a switch inside your soul. This isn’t just background noise; it’s the kind of song that makes you stop scrolling through Instagram and actually look out the window for once. Whoa, trees exist! What gets me most is how raw yet polished this whole project feels. It’s not perfect—and thank god for that. Sometimes perfection feels… sterile? But this? Nah, this is messy in the best possible way. Like scribbling outside the lines because who cares about rules anyway? Here’s the kicker: listening to this album made me realize something weird. Maybe nothing is getting us anywhere—but maybe that’s okay. Maybe spinning our wheels is part of the ride. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it while staring at my ceiling fan again. Either way, Nothing Is Getting Us Anywhere is worth every minute of your attention.

The K12 mix version has that MC, sucks it isn't part of the original track.

I did the Samedi first as they were druggies and baron samedi voodooism...
Then Ronin for main course of the actiom dinner
And finally the Brotherhood for a showdown with an 'early ally'
