About the Band
Are you ready to smash!? No!?
Are you confused? Yes?
Great, let's begin.
Starbomb is a comedy band formed in 2013 that specializes in songs about video games. The group is made up of three members, Dan Avidan and Arin Hanson of Game Grumps, and Brian Wecht. The three of them come together to make a mishmash of strange and endearing songs that I've come to enjoy quite a bit in the past few months.
Brian does the instrumentals, Arin raps, and Dan sings. They often get other YouTubers or special people in the video gaming community to partake on a track with them. Smash from the Album Player Select features vocals from Markiplier and Minecraft is for Everyone features a line from the creator of the game himself, Notch.
As much as the group is there for the shits and giggles, they do take it seriously and put forth their best work to entertain others.
I encourage you to check out the videos posted below, they're great!

As of now the band has 2 albums out. One self-titled, Starbomb and the other, Player Select. And in December 2015 when the video for "The Simple Plot of Metal Gear Solid" was released, Arin stated they were working on a third album.

xBrian is something you special. Honestly. Brian is a comedian, keyboardist, musician and a theoretical physicist.
