Kirikiriroa Hamilton’s newest rock pop outfit Bomb 6a are making their arrival known with the release of their debut EP Let Love Happen. Blending distortion, drive and moments of striking vulnerability, the project introduces a band intent on carving out their own sound.

Fronted by vocalist and songwriter Simon Hirst, Bomb 6a bring a mix of big riffs and raw emotion. Tracks like Say What You Want come heavy with drop-tuned energy, while We Were Right leans into acoustic intimacy, showcasing the group’s range. Across the EP, Hirst’s songwriting is unflinching, turning personal truths and questions into lyrics that resonate with honesty.

With live shows building in Aotearoa and a run of solo UK dates for Hirst later this year, Bomb 6a are stepping confidently into their first chapter. Let Love Happen is a promising debut that hints at bigger things to come.
