In early 1996, Bombshell Rocks released an EP in form of a mini six-track album, Who's the Real Bastard. During this period, Thomas Falk became the band's drummer and Christian Määttä the band's guitarist, after Chrille and Sami left the band. In 1997, Bombshell Rocks released an EP, Going Up Going Down, on their own label Noiseline Rec. Sidekicks Records signed Bombshell Rocks the following year, and released the Underground Radio MCD.
In 1999 Bombshell Rocks released its debut album Street Art Gallery. Shortly after this debut, Richard Andersson was replaced by Ola Hjelmberg when he left the band. During this period, Sweden's biggest punk-rock label Burning Heart Records took notice of their Rancid-influenced street punk sound and short after the band made a deal with them, resulting in releases on American label Epitaph Records, and Japanese label JVC . After an extensive touring phase e.g. with Millencolin, Dropkick Murphys, 59 Times The Pain, US Bombs, and many more in Europe, USA and Canada they entered in 2000 the studio to prove their debut wasn't an one-shot.
On Cityrats And Alleycats Bombshell Rocks went on with their raw, fast, and highly energetic punk rock but this time the production was quite better. Maybe a result of their decision to work with the same guys as they worked with on Street Art Gallery: Mieszko Talarczyk (Nasum) and Mathias Färm (Millencolin) as engineers and producers. Tours and support for main acts like Blink 182, Millencolin and The Offspring followed.
In 2002 they recorded their 3rd studio album From Here And On at the famous Tonteknik Studio in Umeå, Sweden (where Refused laid down their classic The Shape Of Punk To Come) and followed their path of political motivated punk rock anthems. At this time Ola Hjelmberg had left the band and the original guitar player Richard Anderson returned to the band.
When Mårten Cedergran decided to focus on a career as a tattoo artist and left the band in 2003, guitarists Christian Määttä and Richard Andersson took over the vocals and continued as a four-member band. Bombshell Rocks then released The Conclusion in 2005 on Finnish label Combatrock Industry, US label Sailorsgrave Records and UK label Household Name Rec. The band also toured Japan for the first time in 2007 and 2008 with the release of this record.
In 2012 the band announced that Mårten Cedergran was back in the band, once again as the lead vocalist and lead frontman. They did their first show together after a decade on Millencolin 20 Year Festival in Örebro, Sweden. The band recently announced on their website that they will play Brazil in December 2013 for the first time and also that a new EP will be released on San Francisco based label Pirates Press Records. It seems like the band is working on a new album, set to be released in 2014.
On My Way
Bombshell Rocks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The flakes do their best to cover up the ground
And I'm inside looking out
The sun has swept away to make place for the night
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say
Cause I'm already on my way
Might have the wind in my face
I'm always on the move
Until I find my place I look for something new
And that's how I get my kicks
It's a constant search for something
Something more than this
I start dreaming away
want to roll into the sunset in a 56 chevrolet
With you right by my side
Last rays of the evening sun
Reflects in the fields, and the lakes,
And the rivers we're passing by
The opening verse of Bombshell Rocks's song On My Way describes a peaceful winter scene where snow is gently falling and slowly covering up the ground. The singer is inside, looking out at the beautiful yet melancholic sight. The sun has set and night has taken over. The next verse describes the singer's restlessness and desire for perpetual movement. The singer is always looking for new things, new experiences that will satisfy his hunger for more. He dreams of rolling into the sunset in a 56 Chevrolet with a special someone by his side, taking in all the beauty in the passing fields, lakes, and rivers.
The chorus, 'Nothing left to do, nothing left to say, Cause I'm already on my way, Might have the wind in my face, But at least I'm on my way' signifies that the singer has already decided to keep moving forward in life, despite any obstacles that may come his way. He understands that the journey is more important than the destination, and he is willing to accept the hardships that come with it.
The song's theme may relate to the struggles of modern-day living that people face today, where the common notion is always to keep going and to keep oneself occupied with something new. The song showcases the singer's undying spirit to find something that is not materialistic and something that continues to satisfy the soul.

The snow comes falling down
The snow is falling from the sky
The flakes do their best to cover up the ground
The snow is covering up the ground as best as it can
And I'm inside looking out
I am inside and looking outside
The sun has swept away to make place for the night
The sun has set and given way to the night
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say
There is nothing left to say or do
Cause I'm already on my way
I'm already on my way to my destination
Might have the wind in my face
I might be facing the wind
But at least I'm on my way
At least I'm making progress towards my destination
I'm always on the move
I'm always moving around
Until I find my place I look for something new
I'm always searching for something new until I find where I belong
And that's how I get my kicks
That's how I enjoy myself
It's a constant search for something
It's an ongoing search for something
Something more than this
Something better or more fulfilling
I start dreaming away
I start daydreaming
want to roll into the sunset in a 56 chevrolet
I want to drive off into the sunset in a 1956 Chevrolet car
With you right by my side
With you next to me
Last rays of the evening sun
The final bit of sunlight before dark
Reflects in the fields, and the lakes, and the rivers we're passing by
The sunlight is reflecting off of the fields, lakes, and rivers we're driving past
