Tremble Under Boom Lights is an EP by Jonathan Fire*Eater, released in 1996. It was the first release on The Medicine Label after it split from Giant Records the previous fall. The EP was distributed by the Alternative Distribution Alliance.[4] The five songs on the EP were written while the band's members were living in a farmhouse in Ithaca, New York.[5]

In 2019, the release was reissued along with bonus tracks from their 1995 single self-titled single (also referred to by its first track, "The Public Hanging of a Movie Star") as well as a cover of "The City Never Sleeps" and the previous unreleased track "In the Head".
