'''U.S. Bombs''' are an [[United States|American]] [[punk rock]] band, formed in [[1993]]. U.S. Bombs consists of [[vocalist]] [[Duane Peters]], guitarists [[Chuck Briggs]] (who recently died of AIDS-related complications) and [[Kerry Martinez]], bassist [[Wade Walston]], and drummer [[Chip Hanna]]. The group put out their first album in 1996, a self-titled four-track EP. Their first full-length album, ''[[Put Strength in the Final Blow]]'', was followed by ''[[Garibaldi Guard!]]'' (Apr. 1996). Before the release of the album ''[[Back at the Laundromat]]'', Chuck Briggs left the band. [[Youth Brigade]] member [[Jonny Wickersham]] took his place.
They have appeared on ''[[Premium Blend]]'' as the stage band during [[Jim Breuer]]'s hosting stint, and contributed a track from ''Back at the Laundromat'', "Yer Country", to the soundtrack for [[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4]].
In the second semester of 2006, U.S. Bombs toured intensively through Brazil, playing in the [[Vans]] ZonaPunk Tour (The [[Brazil|brazilian]] version of the [[Warped Tour]]), and released their latest album We Are The Problem, in Brazil.
They are currently on tour again.
