SONIC BOMB is a powerful female fronted punk band from Boston Massachusetts. The band began in 2006 as singer JO's band "JO and the MuthaF!@..$%^ers" (a showcase for JO with help from an all star Boston crew: Dropkick Murphy's drummer Matt Kelly, Tommy and the Terrors bassist Ryan Branigan and Lead Guitarist Lance Burnet and The Tampoffs bassist Greg Prestash on rhythm guitar). After the self-titled EP was released the band reformed as SONIC BOMB with full time members. After a few line up changes the band is now stronger then ever with JO (singer and founder of SONIC BOMB) still in the front line, Ben Cook III on Drums (former drummer of Trebek), Jesse Boudreau on Guitar and Justin Reynolds on Bass.
The name SONIC BOMB stands for "a musical explosion" which describes the high-energy explosive charisma of the band's sound and the band's stand of "make music- not bombs". The band’s anthem describes SONIC BOMB the best (“it’s a musical explosionâ€, “it’s a soulful detonationâ€, "air waves air raid- we're super sonic", “TNT of sound in hereâ€, “spreading energy not tearsâ€, “With our voices loud and clearâ€, "Swift sound invasion"..).
SONIC BOMB's music shows obvious influences of 70's-80's punk bands such as "The Adicts" and "Cock SParrer" to "Rose Tattoo" and "the Stooges" which combined with their passion and dedication makes SONIC BOMB be able to cross the lines of genres and reach people of al kinds and types.
SONIC BOMB's Israeli born front-woman JO leads the heartfelt lyrics and sing-along melodies. This fiery powerhouse brings energy, soul, chutzpa and depth to their punk sound with her Janis Joplin meets Wendy O Williams voice. JO was credited for singing backing vocals on Dropkick Murphy's "Warriors Code" album in '06. On drums: From Fitchburg, MA; Ben Cook III (former drummer of Trebek). On Guitar: From Gardner, MA; Jesse Boudreau (former guitarist of Rattle Battle/Headed For the Smoke). *Currently seeking an additional skilled guitarist! On Bass: all the way from Phoenix Arizona, Justin Reynolds.

Songs from the Sonic Bomb Demo and live radio performances are being played on various radio stations and shows such as: "Radio Beat" WERS 88.9fm, Hell Rock Radio, David D'Attilio's "Merry Maladies", Tuft's On The Town With Mikey D, Mohawk Radio and many more.
