The Bombpops are an American punk rock band formed in San Diego, California, United States in 2007. The band was formed by co-front women Jen Razavi and Poli van Dam, and has seen many formation changes since 2007. The band is signed to Fat Wreck Chords. History Formation The band originally consisted of Poli van Dam (guitar/vocals) and Jen Razavi (guitars/vocals). Over the years, the band has seen many line up changes, having three different drummers and six different bassists before Josh Lewis (drums) and Neil Wayne (bass) joined the band. Van Dam was 13 years old when she met Razavi, who was 18, briefly through friends. They met again years later at a local music studio in their home town where van Dam was playing in an 80's Power Metal band as guitarist and Razavi was invited to play bass. They played together in this band for some time but decided to start their own band since power metal wasn't a music genre they liked. Razavi then started to visit van Dam's house after she would get home from school to play and write songs together. Later, they started to look for a drummer and a bass player to compete at a Battle Of The Bands at van Dam's highschool. Neil and Josh had been friends since they were little and had played in bands together before The Bombpops. But as Razavi says, "we’ve been the Bombpops for about ten years, but we really weren’t the Bombpops until we got these guys in the band.” Razavi said in an interview that the band name was chosen on a hot day at the drummer's house. An ice cream van was passing by and the drummer ordered a Lickety Lick Bombpop. At first the band was going to be called The Lickety Lick Bombpops but afterwards they decided The Bombpops sounded better. Releases The Bombpops released their debut EP Like I Care independently in November 2010. The band released their second EP Stole the TV in October 2011 through Red Scare Industries. In January 2015 they self-released another EP named Can of Worms. The Bombpops also toured Europe in 2015, performing 26 shows including one with the Gamits. The Gamits' frontman, Chris Fogel, would end up producing the Bombpop's debut album. In April 2016 the band started to record their first full-length album Fear of Missing Out in Denver, Colorado at
