...The Bombshell Flowers... are an Alternative Indie band hailing from Sanpete County, Utah. Formed in 2011 as Melting Rain, the band has gained recognition for their 3-piece lineup, vocal abilities, and live performances.

History

Drawing inspiration from bands Blink-182, Neon Trees, The Killers, and Johnny Cash, they embarked on the journey of developing their unique musical identity.

From 2017 to 2021, the band went on hiatus to fulfill religious missions. However, in 2021, they reemerged under the new name "The Bombshell Flowers" and marked their return with the release of their debut album, "The Death of Me," in early 2023.
