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 EP in form of a mini six-track album, Who's the Real Bastard.
After an extensive touring phase e.g. with Millencolin, Dropkick Murphys, 59 Times The Pain, US Bombs, and many more in Europe, USA and Canada they entered in 2000 the studio to prove their debut wasn't a one-shot.
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".
