Tsunami Bomb is an American punk rock band from Petaluma, California. They were formed in 1998 by bassist/vocalist Dominic Davi, who was joined by keyboardist Oobliette Sparks and vocalist Kristin McRory and a number of revolving fill-in musicians, including drummer Gabe Lindeman who would later officially join the band full-time in 1999. McRory would leave the band at the end of 1998 and Dominic recruited vocalist Emily Whitehurst aka "Agent M" and guitarist Brian Plink in 1999. Tsunami Bomb was a Warped Tour staple through the early 2000s with a fiercely loyal fan base and released two studio albums, one extended plays, and three seven-inch singles.
Tsunami Bomb would tour extensively through the United States, Europe, and Japan, and go through a number of lineup changes until they disbanded in 2005.
On October 9, 2015 it was announced that the band would reform to support the release of the upcoming rarities collection of now now out of print seven-inch singles and extended plays, Trust No One on Kung Fu Records on January 29, 2016. The line-up would consist of original members including bassist Dominic Davi, vocalist/keyboardist Oobliette Sparks, guitarist Brian Plink, and drummer Gabriel Lindeman. This line-up would be joined by new vocalist Kate Jacobi.
The band was started by bassist Dominic Davi, who enlisted Oobliette Sparks on keyboard who would also contribute vocals and Kristin McRory as Tsunami Bomb's original main vocalist after they left the band, Headboard in February 1998. Davi met McRory in late 1997, when she joined Headboard on vocals and had known Sparks from hanging out together at The Phoenix Theater. Sparks had recently left the local Petaluma band, Spacebaby that she had been in with drummer Gabe Lindeman. Calling in favors and using fill-in musicians to round out the line up, Tsunami Bomb played its first show on June 26, 1998 at the Fatty Mocha in Merced, CA with the band Luckie Strike, playing the Pheonix Theater in Petaluma, CA together the next day. Gabriel Lindeman played drums for the band's first few shows, but he did not join the band full-time until 1999. Kristin McRory left Tsunami Bomb in late 1998, and Davi recruited Emily Whitehurst shortly thereafter (Emily's brother, Logan Whitehurst was Davi's roommate at the time). To add mystique and give her a more iconic presence, Davi created the moniker "Agent M" for her to use in the band. Whitehurst was credited as Agent M almost exclusively until the breakup of the band.
