One Hit Wonder was a punk rock group originating from Long Beach, California.[1]
The band's initial roster included vocalists and guitarists Dan Root and Robbie Allen, bassist Randy Bradbury, and drummer Christopher Webb.[2] Prior to this, Root, Allen, and Bradbury (after Allen's departure) were members of Tender Fury, while Webb had served as the drummer for No Doubt.[2][3]
In 1993, following the recording of the single "Long Beach vs. the World," Allen exited the group.[2] Their first EP, produced by the Robb Brothers, was released two years later in 1995.[1] After Jason Thirsk's passing in 1996, Bradbury left to join Pennywise and Daniel Gadberry took over on bass.[3] Additionally, pro skateboarder Ray "Bones" Rodriguez contributed guitar work on their 1994 EP Where's the World.[3]
Dan Root subsequently became the guitarist for Adolescents and has recorded with Tender Fury, Rik L Rik, Cathedral of Tears, Keith Morris' Buglamp, C.J. Ramone, The Vandals, and appeared in the movie Dudes as well as performing with Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Randy Bradbury played bass on One Hit Wonder’s first two albums before joining the skate punk band Pennywise. Christopher Webb was the drummer for alternative rock band No Doubt but did not participate in their studio recordings. Trey Pangborn, previously part of Falling Idols and Bargain Music, later joined Long Beach ShortBus as a guitarist.[1]
On October 6, 2016, One Hit Wonder reunited for a performance in Long Beach alongside The Cadillac Tramps.
