Bomb Pops

Minneapolis-based indie-pop trio the Bomb Pops formed in the autumn of 1992, comprising singer/guitarist Rick Durgin, bassist Andrea Trollin and drummer Bryan Hanna. The band's existence was brief, and with just a handful of singles and compilation tracks (later collected on Bus Stop as Recommended for Diversion Seekers) to their credit, the Bomb Pops disbanded in the spring of 1994; Durgin and Hanna later reunited in the Legendary Jim Ruiz Group, while Troolin went on to found the fine indie label Grimsey. ~ Jason Ankeny
