Bum Kon has been played on NTS shows including Yesterday's News, with Giving In first played on 29 January 2020.

"Bum Kon recorded two albums and a single in between 1983 and 1986. The single is called 'Drunken Sex Sucks' and was released by Local Anesthetic in 1983… Bob Ferbrache recorded around twenty songs by the band and five were picked out for the single. The remaining songs were never used. While working on the Local Anesthetic compilation, Ferbrache found the master tapes with the remaining songs and different takes not used on the single. These recordings are being remastered and will be released on LP and CD, not so much a lost album as a forgotten album. The songs that make up this album are easily the best material the band ever recorded and old punks and young punks alike should go-nuts when they hear this. The single will also be included on the Local Anesthetic compilation, but it will be a different mix than the one appearing on this album.

Members of the band went on to play in Soak, Pagan Cowboys, Bad Circus, Duh, Mr & Mr & Mr & Mr & Mr Evil, and singer Bob currently sings in Hank IV."-- Info taken from
