Richard Anthony Manzullo, also known as Bomer Manzullo and Bomber, was the original drummer of punk pioneers Rich Kids on LSD (RKL). Innovative style influenced countless punkrock groups, in particual of the Fat Wreck Chords and Epitaph genre, and his creative and technical abilities were years ahead of his time.
Born on July 19th 1967 as Richard Anthony Manzullo, Bomer suffered from a violent childhood. It was probably the reason he turned to drugs. Despite his debaucherous behaviour, Manzullo was not only a gifted musician but he was easily to like as well.
After his stint with RKL Manzullo became vocalist/bassist of the progressive punk trio The Others.
On December 12, 2005 Bomer Manzullo passed away. To this day, very few drummers have been able to play as hard and as fast as Manzullo. Bomer's drumming and contributions to the music community will be missed.
