Description

Guitarist Eddie Glass and drummer Ruben Romano formed NEBULA in 1997 after breaking away from desert rock pioneers Fu Manchu, eventually recruiting bassist Mark Abshire. The power trio specializes in feedback-drenched heavy rock, incorporating liberal doses of Black Sabbath riffery, psychedelia, and space rock. The band released a number of EPs before moving onto full-length albums like 1999's To the Center and 2001's Charged. They've mainly distinguished themselves as a very hard-working live unit NEBULA creates pure guitar-driven, conscious expanding rock for the 21st century. They are a culmination of their rock forbearers such as Jimi Hendrix, MC5, The Stooges and Mudhoney turned up a notch, taken to the next level and blasting through space. NEBULA spread their gospel through their music and what they are preaching will leave the congregation on the floor. In 2017 the band decided to reissue three of their crucial early works via Heavy Psych Sounds Records: 1998’s Let it Burn, 1999’s To the Center and 2002’s Dos EPs, which includes the material originally released on 1999’s Sun Creature and a Nebula/Lowrider split. Followed by the re-release of NEBULA's Charged and the special release of Demos & Outtakes '98-02 in early 2019, in the summer of 2020, after 13 years the band returned with not only a new line-up but also with a brand new full-length called Holy Shit - 9 tracks of pure HEAVY PSYCH explosion !!! The Atomic Bitchwax is an American rock band from Long Branch N.J. that plays balls-to-the-wall rock’n’roll,smashing 60s, 70s riff-rock and proto-metal into a towering celebration of the riff. Formed in the mid 90s by bassist/singer/songwriter Chris Kosnik, guitarist Ed Mundell, and drummer Keith Ackerman, their first self titled album “THE ATOMIC BITCHWAX” was released in 1999 with the N.Y.C. label TeePee Records establishing them with audiences of the burgeoning “Stoner Rock” community. Current lineup Featuring Kosnik, drummer Bob Pantella and guitarist Garrett Sweeny (all also of MONSTER MAGNET past and present) the band has perfected its unique style of hard rock that High Times magazine appropriately dubbed “thunder-boogie” As of 2022 the band has released nine studio albums and have performed over 1,500 live concerts worldwide. Since its formation, THE ATOMIC BITCHWAX has inspired hundreds of developing rock and metal bands, but no group of musicians has come close to matching its unique style of fun, frenetic and formidable rock and roll.
