Box Office Bomb (album)

Box Office Bomb is the second album by the alternative rock band Dramarama.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "while Box Office Bomb suffers slightly from pressed-for-time-and-money production, 'Modesty Personified' still has plenty of Blondiesque bite, and the sextet invigorates Easdale’s vengeful frustration in 'Whenever I’m With Her' ('Sorry I bit her…') with hothouse guitar drama."
