BrooklynVegan
is now hosting an exclusive premiere of “I’ve Turned Into A Monster,”
the new single from New Brunswick, New Jersey-based ATOM DRIVER, preceding Nefarious Industries’ November release of their Is Anything Alright EP.
ATOM DRIVER
formed in the fall of 2016 when guitarist and vocalist Mark Segal
(ex-Boss Jim Gettys), bassist Justin Ingstrup (ex-Good Clean Fun), and
drummer Mike Polilli (Buzzkill) set their sights on blending classic and
current noise rock, indie rock, and post-hardcore influences with a
love of punk and metal. The trio made their debut with the 2017 EP Slackjaw,
produced by Steve Evetts (Hatebreed, Dillinger Escape Plan, Snapcase,
Sepultura) and released on local label Powerbunny 4x4. Two more
self-released EPs followed: In The West later that same year, and Here They Come, The Hornets in 2019.
After re-assessing their musical vision in 2020, ATOM DRIVER
recruited Chris “Crispy” Corvino (Deadguy, Second Arrows) to handle
vocal duties. As soon as masks could come off, the group recorded six
new songs with Joseph Dell'Aquila at Exeter Recordings in Freehold. What
they emerged with was a more frantic and pissed-off vocal style layered
over some quite accessible noisy indie rock with nods to bands like The
Monorchid, Hot Snakes, Motorhead, Tomahawk, McClusky, and God Bullies. Is Anything Alright was mastered by Bill Henderson at Azimuth Mastering and completed with cover art by Maurice Patterson.
With
new single “I’ve Turned Into A Monster,” the band offers, "'…Monster'
is definitely a more frenetic track vs. its predecessor (maiden single
“High Protocol Party”), perhaps the first to ever to pay homage to a
Strandbeest."
Writes
BrooklynVegan, “They recently released lead single 'High Protocol
Party,' a dose of angular, Jesus Lizard/Hot Snakes-esque post-hardcore,
and we're now premiering the heavier new single 'I've Turned Into A
Monster'... It's a ripper..."
