Bombsite was formed in 1993 after the break-up of the Porcelain Boys, the previous band of bassist Scott Cook. Influenced by bands like Jawbreaker, Monsula, Dag Nasty, Leatherface, and Naked Raygun, Bombsite once characterized themselves as "East Bay meets DC and they don't get along."
The band dissolved in 1995 after releasing a 7-song demo cassette and just prior to appearing on the No Slow…All Go! compilation of Minneapolis punk groups. Guitarist Sloan Lorsung immediately joined Dillinger Four on second guitar before becoming a member of Man Afraid. He would eventually form Amp 176. Scott Cook reformed the Porcelain Boys and played with them regularly through the 1990's. They still perform occasionally. As of 2014, Scott is in the Ronnie Buxtons with Steve Barone of Lifter Puller. Drummer John Mulhouse played with the Kung Fools after Bombsite and formed St. Jude's Day with Zak Boerger, later of psych-folk endeavor These Wonderful Evils, once the Kung Fools ended in late-1996. Despite recording albums in 1997 and 2004 with Mark Wilcox (Destroy!, Impetus Inter, Look Back and Laugh, No Statik) and Scott Cook on bass, respectively, St. Jude's Day never officially released any material. Bombsite vocalist Chris Schlicting has gone on to become a successful dance choreographer.
In 2014, a numbered pressing of 200 CD's was produced for the Extreme Noise 20th Anniversary Festival, April 4-5 2014. This contains the band's entire recorded history, including the demo cassette released in 1994, the two tracks on the No Slow…All Go! compilation CD/2xLP and two outtakes from that session. Fourteen additional CD's were sent by the manufacturing plant and these are numbered 201-214. #201 and #202 are packaged in Stumptown Printers Arigato Paks!, like the rest of the pressing, but with opaque cover stickers. #203-214 are in jewel cases with custom tray cards. All copies include a lyric insert with liner notes.
