Box Office Bomb is the second album by the alternative rock band Dramarama.
Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "while Box Office Bomb suffers slightly from pressed-for-time-and-money production, 'Modesty Personified' still has plenty of Blondiesque bite, and the sextet invigorates Easdale’s vengeful frustration in 'Whenever I’m With Her' ('Sorry I bit her…') with hothouse guitar drama."
