KABOOM! is the debut studio album by American chiptune-based rock band I Fight Dragons, released in 2011 by Photo Finish Records. When the band won their release from the record label, they started offering it for free on their site. This has, however, been replaced with the band's newest album, Canon Eyes.

Versions of the band's discography on USB Dogtags, released on the official online store, included an exclusive piano-ballad version of a track, titled "I Will Wait For You If You Do For Me" at the end of the album.

With two EPs, including last years Welcome To The Breakdown, under their belts, I Fight Dragons are finally set to unveil their debut full length. The onomatopoeically titled Kaboom! is set for an October 25th release from Photo Finish/Atlantic. Produced by Matt Mahaffey (Beck, Tenacious D), the album was created not only with traditional rock elements, but also by using old video game soundcards – hence the term chiptune.
