Bomb, was the name of an acid fueled San Francisco based hard rock band started in the late 1980's. There is also a younger group from Turkey currently operating with this name, and an ex-member of Naked Raygun whose Chicago based band is called The Bomb.

The guitars were a squall of affected and eerie riffs provided by Jay Crawford & Doug Hilsinger, with explosive drumming that was ominously thunderous, repetitive and tribal via the pounding of Tony Fag ( aka Short).

Their career began with a vinyl only LP on their own Boogadigga Records in 1987 entitled "To Elvis In Hell". Their first LP caught the attention of Rock and Roll scribe and historian Greil Marcus, as well as a slew of indie zines and punk rock fans across the American heartland where they toured. They signed to Bay Area based Boner Records in 1988 who put out "Hits of Acid" on vinyl and cassette, followed up in 1989 with "Happy All The Time" a
