The Explosion
Boston punk quintet the Explosion was formed in the autumn of 1998 by vocalist Matt Hock, guitarist Dave Walsh, ex-In My Eyes bassist Damian Genaurdi, and drummer Dan Colby; the subsequent addition of former Trouble guitarist Sam Cave completed the lineup. The group made its Jade Tree debut in 2000 with a self-titled EP; tours with labelmates the Promise Ring and Turing Machine preceded the summer release of the full-length Flash Flash Flash. Steal This followed later that fall on Revelation. Extensive touring followed, with the band supporting such acts as International Noise Conspiracy, Rocket From the Crypt, and Cave In. The Explosion returned to wax in 2003 with Sick of Modern Art, issued through their own Tarantula imprint. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
