atom age The Hottest Thing That's Cool (LP, £14.75)

The Atom Age hail from Oakland, CA. • This 5 piece band play 60's garage/punk and are heavily influenced by bands like Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes, and the Sonics. • The boys from Oakland deliver a rock n' roll assault on their sophomore release "The Hottest Thing That's Cool". • Horn tinged rock n' roll is the best description for this band, but it's no secret that the band takes great pride in their influence from Rocket From The Crypt. • They've gone as far to say that without Rocket, there would be no Atom Age.
