The Atomics are a four piece covers band from East Northamptonshire. Formed in 2019 by guitarist Andy Perriss (Bad Manners and The Beat) with seasoned and experienced musicians with a pedigree and history in International touring, recording and session work. Fronted by their powerhouse Vocalist Anna-Louise and tight rhythm section of Ed Porte (Terry Reid band) and Chris Millward (Mud, Massive Attack) the band will have you reminiscing with their song choices and transport you back to a much loved time in music history. The Atomics faithfully recreate the sounds of the late 70's to mid 80's New Wave and Power Pop genre, performing the timeless hits by Blondie, The Pretenders, Squeeze, The Police, Elvis Costello, The Jam, Talking Heads, The Undertones and tunes from many other great bands from the era. If you like watching Top of the Pops 2, re-runs of the Old Grey Whistle Test and listening to PopMaster on the radio, you will be their friends!The Amber Squad
The Amber Squad formed in Oakham, Rutland in the late 1970's, playing a punchy post-punk-power-pop mix of original self-penned songs as well as Pub Rock and R&B classics. They achieved some success with their independent single releases (I Cant) Put My Finger on You and Can We Go Dancing both of which received national radio air play in the UK (including The John Peel Show and Radio 1 Round Table). They toured nationwide in the early 80's, including supporting Geno Washington on his UK tour, eventually splitting up in 1985, however, after a long hiatus, reformed in 2015 and now play regular gigs with three of the original band members still on board. In more recent years they have gone back into the studio to record several new tracks which have appealed to a whole new audience as well as their contemporaries in the mod revival community.
