Punish the Atom

Letsdothedontcare CD

One fat sonic left hook. Formed with simple aims: to destroy drudgery in all its forms with primal guitar noise, mantra-like basslines and atom-smashing beats; to assemble a king-sized wardrobe of sound; to wilfully ignore the written instructions. Punish The Atom, four young men from Nottingham make their debut release in the shape of this mini album, an audacious & urgent shake-up of PiL, Fall, Wire and Devo influences. The quartet's early demos surfaced on both the John Peel Show and Steve Lamacq's Evening Session. Liars and Radio4 are both big fans of PTA's situationalist pop. The group have notched up an impressive showcase of gigs with Radio 4, Pink Grease, The Rapture, El Guapo, The Ex-Models, Beachbuggy, Mower, Franz Ferdinard, The Futureheads and a joint headline tour with Lomax in Nov 03.
