Fundraise: Welcome to Atom Bomb City | First EP in a 3-part series full of mystery, intrigue & pedal steel.
What is Atom Bomb Project?
Atom Bomb Project is a music project that lots of people have been involved with since 2005. At the core, it is a concept album set in a dusty, western town at the dawn of the nuclear age.
This project began when Phil Artuz, Andy Abercrombie and Pat Grady started writing songs about a dystopic town and the people who lived there; we called this place Atom Bomb City.
The plot has changed several times over the years, this latest adaptation is performed by the band Ferguson, MO. The band is comprised of Blake Lange (drums, keys), Cody Ground (organs), Dow Douthitt (banjo), Justin Douglas (pedal steel, dobro, engineer) & Pat Grady (guitars, vocals).
We broke the story up into three sections and recorded an EP for each section. You can help out the project by contributing to our fundraising goal. With your help we can get all three EPs printed quickly so you can enjoy the story in its entirety!

Record Highlight — Sightings
The noise rock parade that defies definition, set out on a mission of pure volume worship that is the post-decade pilgrimage of NY-based Sightings After eight instinctive albums, the Sightings guys show no mercy with endless annihilation of their newest material on Terribly Well. All parts destruction measured against their abrasive songwriting. Jagged, collapsing rhythm based mayhem, guitars that can be mistaken as a freight train being ripped for scrap metal, only to be held together with panic stricken bass patterns that keep their voice from the edge of insanity. An accessible album for the unacceptable make this their finest to date. Each song saws through the humanity, taking no hostages with this hectic industrial rock masterpiece. Edition of 500 (Dais Records).

Record Highlight — Charlie Hunter
Baboon Strength: Cool name, huh?
Charlie Hunter & company (Erik Deutsch on keyboards and Tony Mason on drums) recorded Baboon Strength at Trout Studio in Brooklyn. They have an old school set-up where everything happens in the same room, instruments, mixing desk, tape machine, everything.
The album was recorded to 16 track two-inch tape before putting it in the digital realm. Erik brought his 1970s Yamaha combo organ, Casiotone and Echoplex. His sonic aesthetic and abilities as an improviser are impeccable. Go Erik! Tony played Trout’s big ass bass drum, snare and toms. (In Charlie’s words, “He also happens to be, in my opinion, the best pure pocket drummer I’ve ever heard. Science. In terms of groove and time it’s his world, we live in it, act accordingly”). Erik and Charlie both concur that he gets the game ball for this record. Charlie brought some decent songs and tried not to overplay. It’s a never- ending process. Dave McNair did a hell of a job mixing and mastering the disc. Grab the album and see if you concur — the vinyl will be up soon! [Check out the fat drum sound on “Difford-Tillbrook”.]
