Atomic Folk

THE STORY
If one were to bother looking – somewhere between hard rock and a soft place, one would find Atomic Folk.

With their unique blend of power, enegy, melody and fragility, Atomic Folk garnered attention in la belle province and abroad.

Formed in 1992, Atomic Folk ascended steadily since its inception. Several national tours, radio playlists, local award nominations, and critics’ favorable reviews are a few of the accomplishments made by the Montreal band.

Their appropriately titled debut, “Begin” and glowing (literally) sophomore masterpiece, “Winterland” are the timeless testaments created in the name of uncompromised rock.

Lead singer/songwriter, Jack Nicholls has taken his pen and guitar to wider, more open spaces, in the Moonshine Orchestra, while rhythm section-gods, Paul Julius and Tim Dwyer now lay down the concrete slabs for Montreal ultra-heavies, Bionic.

HIGHLIGHT REVIEW

“Local popsters Atomic Folk are back again, but this time with crisp production to their credit. The lead-off track “Organa” shows good imagination in the arrangement department, while “Never Ends” hearkens us back to the days of the Asexuals. Atomic Folk have an indisputable Montreal sound, with a tip of the hat to later-day Hüsker Dü. You can’t go wrong with that.”
