"Who Put The Bomp" was a rock music fanzine edited and published by Greg Shaw from 1970-79. Later its name was shortened to "Bomp!". Shaw was one of the first and best known rock fanzine editors. Active in science fiction fandom as a young man, he became familiar with fanzines. Shaw founded one of the earliest rock fanzines, the mimeographed "Mojo Navigator and Rock 'n Roll News" in 1966. "Bomp!" was an early publishing venue for many subsequently well-known writers, including Lester Bangs and Greil Marcus.

"Bomp!" later morphed into an independent record label, Bomp! Records, headed by Shaw until his death in 2004.

Origin of the name

The name of the magazine comes from a 1961 Doo-Wop hit song by Barry Mann called Who Put the Bomp.
