FAVORITE ATOMIC
HERO was formed in Boston in 1998, initially as STATIC. The band was forced to
change its name to avoid possible legal action from an "unnamed" major label act
that didn't take very kindly to somebody borrowing part of its moniker. The new
name was created during a rather involved drinking game which can best be described
as a combination of Indian Poker, Tug-o-War and Boggle.
FAVORITE ATOMIC HERO believes in one idea above all others: Rock is good. Regardless
of the current musical flavor of the month, the kids will always come back home
to the sweet, welcoming sound of guitar-driven pop. Who can resist the siren song
of an American-built guitar played through a Marshall stack turned up to eleven,
a rhythm section that can only count to four and melodies that absolutely refuse
to stop bouncing around inside your skull? It has been scientifically argued that
Rock, especially loud Rock, is extremely nourishing and may be used as a substitute
for the standard three squares a day. Rock is as wholesome, good and as American
as Mom, Baseball, Apple Pie and, well Rock 'N Roll.
FAVORITE ATOMIC HERO was created by Mr. David Age. David sings and writes the
songs and plays all six strings of his guitar. David spent some time playing guitar
in Boston's legendary punk outfit BASTARD SQUAD. He finally gave into the hankering
to start his own band and began to steal players from other Boston groups. He
stole Xavier Birkenhead, who plays at least two strings of his bass, from local
math rockers GRANDIZER. After several less worthy drummers, he had the extreme
good fortune to acquire the powerful Johnny Hunt, formerly of emo group SIDEREAL.
The final asset in the portfolio was found with the arrival of Hollis, the madcapped
Les Paul slingin', harmony vocalizing, founder of the dynamic punk-pop THE MISSION
120.
With their brilliant combination of intense and irresistible songwriting and explosive
performances, the future of this group is without doubt: complete world domination. |
