I always thought this album title was clever.
The band is US Bombs, a street punk band from the Clash/Buzzcocks school. Punk always championed the independent, band owned record label, ever since Black Flag put together their own SST label in 1978. Hellcat Records was Rancid's label, imprint of Epitaph (Bad Religion's label). The World is the 2nd record the US Bombs released on Hellcat. This record has classic street punk themes coupled with political anti-war themes.
My friend, in high school, got his hands on a US Bombs t-shirt. It was simple, with just the band's wordmark across the chest. I didn't know it was a band, and thought it was a boobs joke. My friend was a guy.
At the time, I was thrilled to add this to my music library. And now, I feel the same.
