The Explosion are a punk rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. On February 13, 2007 the band announced that they had left Virgin Records, and on April 30, 2007, that they were to split up. On June 5, the band announced plans for two last shows in Philadelphia, and New York.
Matt Hock and Damian Genuardi met David Walsh through Rama Mayo, owner of indie label Big Wheel Recreation. They started the band in the fall of 1998, with Cave and Colby eventually joining later.
They pressed 250 copies of a demo before going on tour with Kid Dynamite. A roadie gave the demo to indie rock label Jade Tree Records, who signed the band and put out a self-titled EP containing all the demo tracks in 2000.
Their debut full-length, Flash Flash Flash on Jade Tree, was released to glowing reviews. Spin Magazine named it as one of the best 20 albums of 2000, and later named the band one of the top 10 punk acts of 2001. The Explosion also came in 2nd for Best Local Punk Act in The Boston Phoenix. They began touring the U.S. and Europe with the likes of Sick of it All, AFI (A Fire Inside), the Nerve Agents, Avail, Leatherface, US Bombs, Alkaline Trio, The Queers, Social Distortion, Tiger Army, The International Noise Conspiracy, Rocket From the Crypt and Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. They were also featured on the 2001 and 2005 Warped Tour.
The Explosion is the self-titled debut EP from The Explosion. It was released in 2000 on Jade Tree Records. All the tracks featured were originally part of a demo sold on The Explosion's tour with Kid Dynamite.

Gayety often found its way into my tower
Night after night it was filled with happy people
Thin happy people
Tall happy people
Short happy people
Old and young
Many races from many places
My tower was filled with nice neighbourly sounds
Phones ringing,knocks on the door
Many conversations competing madly for attention
And the heart warming sound of people laughing out loud
We talked mostly about New York
The concerts we had attended(The humidity)
The plays we had seen(The humidity)
The musicals on Broadway and(The humidity)
We had artists
We had musicians and we had a wonderful waiter,a waiter
named Noah
Noah,Noah,where is Noah
where is Noah here comes Noah now
Empty the astrays
Get out some ice
`Cause we´re having the party and the people are nice
Clear off the table
Order us some chow
