notes

The process of splitting an atom results in the release of a tremendous amount of energy, which is why the name of this Atlanta quartet is so appropriate.

The group's contagious fission of punk drive, pop melody and classic rock soul has garnered it critical praise and local songwriting awards.

On One Ton Suit, Atomsplit looks to enrapture the rest of the country in a similar fashion.

This 12-cut album is a sizzling meltdown of raw kinetics and catchy hooks, particularly on tracks such as "I Can't Do (Worse Than You)" and "Crashing The Void." Even on the mid-tempo, lover's laments, these guys still bare teeth.

One Ton Suit is power pop performed the way it should be: loud and fast without ever letting them see you sweat.

  • Great sounds-love the bass guitar!
    author: Rick Pastma

    Wondered if they put out another CD. They really have a great sound and ping off of each other awesomly.

  • Atomsplit RULES!
    author: Atlanta Citysearch

    Atomsplit was only in existence for a few months before stations were spinning its singles and critics were eating up the band's melodic tunes. In the winter of 1997, singer/songwriter Doug Davenport recruited drummer John Peterson, bass player Hawkins Pettengill, and guitarist Jason Colby to complete his vision of "a more energetic, songwriting-based version of punk/pop/rock music." Davenport and his band immediately won a finalist award in the "Best Rock Song" category of the 1997 Atlanta Songwriters Contest for their tune "Millisent" and garnered rave reviews from local music writers. While the critics hearts were warm, Atomsplit quickly produced their first CD, which received regional CMJ airplay through 1997 and 1998. The tune "So Over You" won Best Rock Song at the 1998 GMIA Songwriters Constest.

  • Atomsplit is pure energy!
    author: Gregory Nicoll

    Onstage these guy come off like some wild combination of the Buzzcocks and Elvis Costello's Attractions. They just won a GMIA songwriting contest with their "So Over You," which only goes to prove that, indeed, it ain't over yet.

  • I LOVE THIS CD!!!!
    author: Atlanta Citysearch

    My favorite songs are "Tune in Tokyo" and "Where We Are!" I wish they would play out around their local town more often, but I imagine they are on the road a lot.

  • Atomsplit sent us an EP that's good, with a vaguely Foo Fighter feel.

    Atomsplit sent us an EP that's good, with a vaguely Foo Fighter feel. They're a local act on Shut Eye Records. I like this CD too.
