Bombshell Rocks is a Swedish band that was founded in 1995, in Västerås, Sweden.

History

The group was formed in 1995 with a line-up of singer Mårten Cedergran, guitarists Richard Andersson and Sami Korhonen, bassist Mathias Lindh, and drummer Chrille Hermansson, and had performed under its original band name, Down and Out, before changing it to Bombshell Rocks.[1]

In early 1996, Bombshell Rocks released an

Going Up Going Down, on their own label Noiseline Rec. Sidekicks Records signed Bombshell Rocks the following year, and released the Underground Radio MCD.[1]

In 1999 Bombshell Rocks released its debut album

In 2002 they recorded their 3rd studio album

From Here And On at the famous Tonteknik Studio in Umeå, Sweden (where Refused laid down their classic The Shape Of Punk To Come) and followed their path of political motivated punk rock anthems. At this time Ola Hjelmberg had left the band and the original guitar player Richard Anderson returned to the band.[1]

When Mårten Cedergran decided to focus on a career as a tattoo artist and left the band in 2003, guitarists Christian Määttä and Richard Andersson took over the vocals and continued as a four-member band. Bombshell Rocks then released

The Conclusion in 2005 on Finnish label Combatrock Industry, US label Sailorsgrave Records and UK label Household Name Rec. The band also toured Japan for the first time in 2007 and 2008 with the release of this record.[1]

In 2012 the band announced that Mårten Cedergran was back in the band, once again as the lead vocalist and lead frontman. They did their first show together after a decade on Millencolin 20 Year Festival in Örebro, Sweden. The band recently announced on their website that they will play Brazil in December 2013 for the first time and also that a new EP will be released on San Francisco based label Pirates Press Records. The band then followed up with a new full-length album in 2014 on Burning Heart and Pirates Press Records called "Generation Tranquilized". Then in 2015 another 7" called "This Time Around".
