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. ==Members== *[[Duane Peters]] *Kerry Martinez *Wade Walston *[[Chip Hanna]] *[[Jonny Wickersham]] *Curt Gove *Jamie Reidling *Alex Gomez *Steve Reynolds *[[Chuck Briggs]] *Heiko Schrepel *[[Jack Dalrymple]] *Nate Shaw ==Discography== ===Studio albums=== * ''[[Put Strength in the Final Blow]]'' -vinyl-only (1994, [[Alive Records]]) * ''[[Garibaldi Guard!]]'' (1996, Alive Records) * ''[[Never Mind the Opened Minds]]'' (Jan. 1997, Alive Records) * ''[[War Birth]]'' (Sept. 1997, [[Hell-Cat Records]]) * ''[[The World (US Bombs album)|The World]]'' (June 1999, Hell-Cat Records) * ''[[Put Strength in the Final Blow]]'' (September 1999) * ''[[Back at the Laundromat]]'' (March 2001, Hell-Cat Records) * ''[[Covert Action (US Bombs album)|Covert Action]]'' (March 2003, Hell-Cat Records) * ''[[Put Strength in the Final Blow: The Disaster Edition]]'' (July 2003, [[Disaster Records]]) * ''[[We Are the Problem]]'' (April 2006, [[Sailor's Grave Records]] ; August 2006, Enemy #1 Records (Brazil)) ===EPs=== * ''[[U.S. Bombs (EP)|U.S. Bombs]]'' 7" (Jan. 1996, Alive Records) * ''[[Kill Me Good]]'' 7" * ''[[Scouts of America (EP)|Scouts of America]]'' double 7" * ''[[Outtakes From a Beer City Basement]]'' 7" (1998) * ''[[Great Lakes of Beer]]'' 7" * ''[[U.S. Bombs/The Bristles]]'' split 7" * ''[[Jaks/The Way It Ends]]'' 10" picture disc * ''[[Hobroken Dreams]]'' (1999, [[TKO]]) * ''[[Tora Tora Tora!/Yer Country]]'' (March, 2001) * ''[[Art Kills]]'' (April 2003) ===Live albums=== * ''[[Lost In America: Live 2001 (US Bombs Album)|Lost In America: Live 2001]]'' (Live album) (Jan. 2002) * ''[[Bomb Everything: Live 2001 (US Bombs Album)| Bomb Everything: Live 2001]]'' (Australia Only) ==Related bands== *[[Cadillac Tramps]] - Jonny Wickersham *[[Chip Hanna]] - Chip Hanna *[[Die' Hunns]] - Duane Peters *[[Lower East Side Stitches]] - Curt Gove *[[The Duane Peters Gunfight]] - Duane Peters *[[One Man Army]] - Jack Dalrymple Chip Hanna & Heiko Schrepel *[[Social Distortion]] - Jonny Wickersham *[[Youth Brigade]] - Jonny Wickersham *[[Bad Luck Charms]] - Kerry Martinez *[[Dead To Me]] - Jack Dalrymple *[[The Re-Volts]] - Jack Dalrymple *[[The BillyBones]] - Alex Gomez ==External links== * [http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/us_bombs/bio.jhtml U.S. Bombs bio at VH1.com] * [http://www.theusbombs.com U.S. Bombs Official Web Site] * [http://www.bebad.us/theusbombs U.S. Bombs BeBAD.us Videos] [[Category:1990s music groups]] [[Category:2000s music groups]] [[Category:American hardcore punk musical groups]] [[Category:Hellcat Records groups]] [[Category:Musical groups established in 1993]] {{US-punk-band-stub}} [[de:U.S. Bombs]] [[es:U.S. Bombs]] [[it:U.S. Bombs]] [[sv:U.S. Bombs]]
