“What we need in these trying times is an anti-depressant, something to lift the spirits and get the feet moving, and like any worthwhile set of heroes, Bite Me Bambi have arrived in our hour of need when a skanking pick me up is needed” — The Punk Site
Orange County’s punk firebrands Bite Me Bambi are set to turn up the volume and the attitude with the release of their new album, Eat This, which dropped on February 14. Packed with infectious energy, undeniable hooks, and a fearless spirit, Eat This is poised to be the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift for ska, pop, and punk listeners alike.

“A warm delicious ‘fk you’ with a side of skank sauce? That’s exactly what the doctor ordered with Bite Me Bambi’s new Eat This ablum, a quick and dirty 8-song LP calling out bad boyfriends, haters, gaslighters… the entire human population at large — including “Girls Like You” – Top Shelf Music
Alongside the album, the band unveiled the music video for “Too Many People,” a powerhouse anthem featuring the legendary Dirty Walt Kibby of Fishbone. Organ echoes over a punchy drumroll before a hummable horn section accelerates the momentum. As the groove builds, frontwoman Tahlena Chikami takes command” “It’s like a mission statement,” says Tahlena. “Say what you want about us, but we’re here doing our thing, and you can’t drag us down. I’m proud of how open we are in the song.”
Rising from the perennial punk proving grounds of Orange County, CA, Bite Me Bambi is a high-energy force to be reckoned with. The band—anchored by original members Tahlena Chikami (vocals, guitar), Mike Berault (keys), Ryan Brown (bass), Edgar Guadiana (sax), and Dan Evans (drums)—craft unapologetic and undeniable anthems fueled by uncontainable pop-punk energy, soaring ska spirit, and intoxicating island bounce.
With Eat This marking a new chapter for the band, enthusiasts can expect more excitement on the horizon. A national tour announcement is coming soon, promising live shows as fun and unrelenting as the music itself. Bite Me Bambi is here, and they’re not holding back.
Catch them at DOLL FEST 2025 on March 2.
