History (2008-2009)
In 2008, Fashion Bomb launched "Era 2.0", a reference to their new lineup, and signifying a brand new beginning for the band. They adopted an additional slogan, "Dead Technology", to signify the resurrection of long abandoned/neglected aspects of performance and writing music, i.e. utilizing some of those methods.
In keeping with this new approach, Fashion Bomb also debuted their "Drones". Differentiated by number, a Drone is a live performer on stage, usually playing an instrument, but other Drones have been hinted at, including performance artists or stage technicians. Fashion Bomb's Drones have proven an effective support system, and currently two Drones have been debuted, Drone1 which plays drums, and Drone2 which plays rhythm guitar.
Fashion Bomb continued their success in July 2008, signing a record deal with a new label, Full Effect Records. Based in Detroit and Los Angeles, Full Effect Records features an exclusive artist roster, and includes Faster Pussycat, The Newlydeads, Pigface, and Final Cut. Full Effect re-released Fashion Bomb's debut album, Devils to Some, Angels to Others, with a bonus track re-mixed by DJ Asrock of Final Cut in September 2008.
Fashion Bomb's new album "Visions of the Lifted Veil" was released November 10, 2009. This will be their second full length album, and is produced by Raymond Herrera of Fear Factory and Arkaea. Also producing and mixing is Jeremy Blair (Guns N' Roses, Mnemic, Fear Factory). Stephen Jensen of F3 Studios created the album artwork.
