Onstage these guys come off like some wild combination of the Buzzcocks and Elvis Costello's Attractions - (Creative Loafing, Atlanta)

notes

"power pop performed the way it should be" - (CMJ New Music Report)

"It's the Big Bang Theory transmuted into pop/rock, with a molecular structure similar to the Buzzcocks, the Rezillos and the Undertones" - (Creative Loafing)

"Onstage these guys come off like some wild combination of the Buzzcocks and Elvis Costello's Attractions" - (Creative Loafing)

"Atomsplit bristles with seriously catchy, frantic, punk-infused pop" - (Atlanta INsite Magazine)

"crisp, well-crafted, melodic songs driven home with punk rock intensity" - Atlanta Sideshow

    A four-song EP from this Atlanta based power-pop quartet that is lean and taught with plenty of hooks and little filler. While it may be pop, these guys leave the raw edge on the guitars and maintain a rhythm section that propels the songs forward. On the opening track, "Crashdown," the band bristles with energy, while on the third track, "Go Home," they slow down a bit with a song that is reminiscent of The Replacements. A nice EP for fans to listen to while they finish up their next full-length album, due in the fall.

  • This sure don't sound like Atlanta the way that we're used to hearin' it.

    This sure don't sound like Atlanta the way that we're used to hearin' it. The guys in Atomsplit (that's one word now folks...) have a great deal more in common with bands on the west coast than bands in their own home town...and that's just fine with us in this cranky ol' campground. Atomsplit music is punchy guitar-based pop/rock fueled first and foremost by melodies. No screaming atonal noise here. Our favorite tune is "The Water," although all four tracks are impressive. This band is performing material that is not unlike some of the underground pop from the eighties...but the overall sound is certainly cleaner and more current. Too bad this one's an EP...cuz just as our wheels was gettin' all greased up and ready for action...the damn thing done ENDED! Cool band with cool songs. We likes it.
