ATIC Records - News

The first single from Gripper's debut LP is 'What's The Big Idea?', a psych-surf monster of a tune featuring tuff beats, squelchy bass, acoustic geetar and Dubya's dad! It's backed with '3 Minutes', another club stinger lifted from the forthcoming album. The single also features an exclusive non-LP track, 'The Right To Know', a dark, percussive heavy, UFO themed oddity that's been going down a storm. The official release date for both the 7" vinyl and MP3 bundle is OUT NOW! The vinyl is extremely limited (200 copies) and will not be repressed so get it while you can!

New signing Crowhead presents a sneak peak at the fresh new video for 'The Bends'. Taken from his up-coming debut LP 'Born With Teeth', it features Crowhead (aka 'The Nudge' aka 'Woody') crooning cryptic lyrics over raw synths and electric beats whilst Niko lends her layered vocals for the catchy  hook. Director and old friend Colin O'Toole takes a break from Ian Brown videos and PlayStation commercials and does for the Tiger Moth what The Smiths did for the Salford Lads Club!
