Honey Bombs bio
Gli HoneyBombs sono un gruppo di HardRock/HeavyMetal formato a Roma nel 2012.
Dopo alcuni cambi di formazione e anni passati esibendosi sui palchi di tutta Italia, nel 2016 la band registra l'album di debutto: "Wet Girls and Other Funny Tales".
Co-prodotto, registrato, mixato e masterizzato al "Time Collapse Studio" di Roma da Riccardo Studer e Alessio Cattaneo, l'album è composto da 11 canzoni di puro, allegro e scanzonato Rock'n'Roll con significative influenze di solido Heavy Metal e una chiara attitudine punk. L'album è uscito per la Sliptrick Records il 13 Aprile 2017.
Dal 2018 la band ha intrapreso un'intensa attività live in giro per l'Italia suonando con diverse realtà locali e anche a supporto di artisti di fama internazionale, come il guitar hero Vinnie Moore.
L'esperienza accumulata negli anni e i vari cambi di formazione, fino a giungere a quella attuale, hanno fatto sì che la proposta sia variata rispetto all'originale: oggi gli Homneybombs sono una formazione dedita ad un potente e melodico hardrock/heavy metal, a tratti tecnico, ma che mostra ancora diverse influenze sleazy e più dirette, senza mai disdegnare l'introspezione.
Nel 2023 la band è entrata in studio di registrazione (Chitarre c/o Rotten Tubes Studio; batteria ed editing c/o The Outher Sounds di Giuseppe Orlando; voci, mix e produzione c/o Time Collapse di Riccardo Studer) per produrre il secondo album, dal probabile titolo di: There is an Elephant in The Room.

ADAM BOMB Biography
Adam was born as Adam Brenner in Seattle, Washington USA.

1979
Adam formed the cover band TYRANT with singer
GEOFF TATE who later formed QUEENSRŸCHE.
First the band was called Spectrum and they
played Judas Priest, UFO or Rush songs.
Normally, they had gigs at High Schools. After a
‘battle of bands’ the band broke up.

One of the first gigs

1980
Adam met EDWARD VAN HALEN in a hotel in Tacoma Washington. He asked Eddie to sign his guitar and
wound up getting a three hour guitar lesson. Those three hours changed his life forever.
Later he joined the band TKO from Seattle. Adam co-wrote
most of the new material of the band and recorded the album
IN YOUR FACE. But TKO couldn’t get a record deal. The album
was too heavy for the current music market, Disco was still the

main thing. Without a deal, Adam eventually left and was re-
placed. TKO ended up with a record deal releasing In Your

Face on Combat Records in 1984.

1981
Adam was asked to audition for KISS. Ace Frehley, the original guitar player, left the band before. He flew

Adam left TKO.
Adam moved to Hollywood, Los Angeles and shared an apartment with JEFF “IZZY” ISABELLE who formed
a few years later GUNS ‘N’ ROSES. They were neighbors to a rock band called BLACK ‘N’ BLUE. Adam

ven had written. Adam sang on the demos, although the music was a bit too ‘New Jersey’ for Adam to get

into.

“Johnny In The Sky”. To add to the video, Adam got home movies of
