Music Is More Than Art
Music is more than art for our community.
It is therapy, connection, self-regulation, expression, and, for many, a lifeline.
Calm Bomb Collective is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit record label and creative community that champions Autistic, neurodivergent, and disabled artists. Founded by AuDHD music producer and Autism Dad Chris “Krohme” Moore, CBC was created to remove the systemic barriers that keep these artists from being seen, heard, and supported in the music industry.
Too often, disabled and neurodivergent artists are excluded not because of talent, but because the industry is not built with them in mind. CBC exists to change that, by providing resources, access, and opportunities that honor artists’ needs, identities, and lived experiences.
Amplifying Voices That Matter
Through music releases and collaborations with artists and cultural icons such as Chuck D of Public Enemy, Doug Wimbish of Living Colour, Bizzy Bone, Arrested Development, Earth Crisis, Snapcase, Kurupt, OTEP, That Handsome Devil, and many others, Calm Bomb Collective amplifies underrepresented voices and builds community across genres and generations.
Our releases have charted globally across Hip-Hop, Metal, Alternative, and Folk, proving that disabled and neurodivergent voices don’t belong on the margins; they belong in the global music conversation.
Music is not something we simply distribute. It is a vehicle for advocacy, representation, and visibility, and a way to challenge harmful narratives around disability and neurodivergence.
Beyond the Music
Calm Bomb Collective’s work extends far beyond the stage and the studio.
We build networks of care that support not only artists, but also parents, caregivers, and families—recognizing that creative sustainability requires real-world support systems.
This includes Spectrum Navigator, our AI-powered platform designed to help artists, parents, and caregivers find trusted resources, events, services, and opportunities related to disability, mental health, and creative development.
Every album, single, physical release, and event helps fund programs that promote inclusion, celebrate talent, and create pathways for artists who have historically been excluded.

Mike “MikeDC” McTernan
Head of A&R
Mike McTernan is best known as the ferocious voice behind Damnation A.D., the Washington, DC-based band that expertly straddled the line between hardcore and metal. Growing up just minutes from the original Dischord Records house, McTernan was immersed in the region’s punk and hardcore scene from an early age. By 12, McTernan identified as straight edge, seeking to distance himself from the culture of substance use among his peers. His musical journey began in earnest in 1992 when he co-founded Damnation A.D. with guitarist Ken Olden.
The band quickly gained traction, releasing their debut album, No More Dreams of Happy Endings, on Jade Tree Records in 1995 before moving to Revelation Records for their seminal Kingdom of Lost Souls in 1998. McTernan’s raw, unrelenting vocal delivery became a defining characteristic of the band’s sound, earning them a devoted following in the hardcore and metal underground.
After Damnation A.D. disbanded in 1998, McTernan took a hiatus to focus on his mental health before resurfacing in the mid-2000s with When Tigers Fight, a project featuring members of The Promise, Death by Stereo, and Adamantium. The collaboration rekindled his passion for music, leading to a Damnation A.D. reunion in 2007. Whether fronting a pioneering metallic hardcore band or exploring creative projects outside of music, McTernan’s influence endures as a powerful force in the underground music scene.
