Sparkling Bombs appeared in 2001 somewhere between an unknown galaxy and the Est of France. Even though the bands influences (New York Dolls, Manic Street Preachers, Sex Pistols, etc.) mostly belong to the past, the Sparkling Bombs decided to celebrate the rebirth of glitter in a modern way.
Their first and introductory 5 song CD From Bubblegum Fun To Glittered Depression (United Musics Company distribution) was released in summer 2002.
These glamorous Bombs are keeping the trashy sexy romantic glam rock flame alive and already shared stages with bands as various as the New York Dolls, Louis XIV, Nashville Pussy, American Heartbreak, The Fuzztones, Kill The Young, Peppermint Creeps, Walter Lure (The Heartbreakers), The Bellrays, Sin City Sinners, Trashcan Darlings, Rebel Rebel etc.
In 2003, the Sparkling Bombs hit the road with the immortal Lords of The New Church for the French leg of their ultimate resurrection tour.
The first full-length CD of the band untitled Dead Dreams From The Silver Gutter (Musicast distribution) was officially released in September 2004 and has often been described in the worldwide media as an elegant mix of dark glam rock and catchy pop tunes with incisive punk rocknroll guitars.
Year 2006 - After various appearances on several compilations and tribute albums (Dead Boys, Fuzztones, Hollywood Teasze) as well as a tour with Peter Pan Speedrock the Sparkling Bombs leave for a first UK tour where they notice a never-growing interest for the band.
Late November, the band releases a new CD untitled Diamond Skin, 7 songs filled with power pop, boogie and hard rock'n'roll touches.
After a second UK tour in summer 2007 and more shows in Germany, France and Italy, the Sparkling Bombs finally fly out to the USA in July 2008 completing a successful West Coast tour.
Spray Paint Prayers, the second full-length CD of the Bombs will be released in June 2009 by Nicotine records.
"Who said Glam Rock was all looks and no substance?! Sparkling Bombs are a class act in a world of wannabes and pretenders." (TrashPit magazine.)
