The Atom Age

The Atom Age is a high-octane rock 'n' roll outfit from Oakland, California, known for blending garage-punk energy with saxophone-driven swagger. Formed in the late 2000s, they’ve carved out a rowdy niche with releases like *The Hottest Thing That’s Cool* and *Hot Shame*, delivering sweat-soaked anthems that feel like a vintage muscle car tearing through a dive bar. Their split with pop-punk legends The Queers and tracks like *Kill Surf City* showcase their knack for pairing catchy hooks with unapologetic chaos. Often compared to acts like The Sonics or The Cramps, they’ve toured relentlessly, sharing stages with acts like The Briefs and The Phenomenauts, while keeping their sound rooted in greasy, riff-heavy rebellion. If you dig your rock with a side of sax and a punk rock heartbeat, these guys are your fix.
