History
In summer 2013, Avidan began making comments about creating a new music project with Wecht and Hanson. The project wasn't officially announced until December 2, 2013, when the group released a preview of their song "I Choose You to Die" on Ninja Sex Party's official YouTube channel. They also announced that their first album, the self-titled Starbomb, would release on December 17, 2013. Leading up to the album's launch date, the group released further previews on the Ninja Sex Party and Game Grumps YouTube channels, the latter of which was hosted by Avidan and Hanson.
In the weeks following its release, Starbomb placed on multiple Billboard charts, reaching #1 on Comedy Albums and Heatseekers Albums. Music videos for several of the album's songs such as "Luigi's Ballad" and "It's Dangerous to Go Alone" were released to YouTube that same year and in spring of the following year. Destructoid commented on the album's release, stating that "While the concept itself may seem a bit juvenile, the awesome music (provided by Ninja Sex Party) and hilarious situations are more than enough to keep the more "mature" fan entertained."
Starbomb's final song, "Outro," hinted at a future album. However, no official confirmation of a second album was forthcoming until fall of the following year. On December 16, 2014 Starbomb's second album, Player Select, was released. Like its predecessor, snippets of the album's songs were released on YouTube prior to its release. Additionally, Player Select placed on several Billboard charts, and achieved #1 on Comedy Albums. Player Select also charted on position #3 on Billboard's end of year charts for US Comedy Albums. AllMusic gave the album an overall favorable review, remarking that "Plenty of swearing and 8-bit innuendo make this for the adult retro gamer and not the kids, but the laughs are plentiful and big."
In the video for "The Simple Plot of Metal Gear Solid," released on December 25, 2015, Arin from Starbomb indicated there would be a third album.
