The Atomic Bitchwax

"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 2020 the band has released nine studio albums and
have performed over 1,500 live concerts worldwide.
In addition,2020 will find the band supporting their
latest 10 song effort "SCORPIO" "release date 5-29-20"
with scheduled tours in North America and Central Europe.
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.

BEHAVER
BEHAVER are Dan vocals/guitar, Pat/drums and Basti/bass. The three musicians have many years of stage experience and have already performed on stage with several bands (including Morning View, Use Möre Gas, Dirty Horse, Jailvis). Dan and Pat first met when they formed the post stoner band Jailvis a few years ago, which recorded an EP in the studio and played a handful of explosive shows. When the project came to an end during the pandemic. The two musicians locked themselves in the rehearsal room for a while and came back after a short time with the first songs and a watertight plan for BEHAVER. It took a few attempts before the current line-up was finally found, but the wait was worth it. Basti is a damn accomplished and experienced musician on bass, whose playing plays a decisive and inimitable role in shaping the Behaver sound.
The band's sound is naturally composed of the different styles of the three musicians and the sum could probably best be described as heavy alternative music. The first demo Pyramids, which was released at the beginning of 2024, is already multifaceted and experimental. Toolesque grooves, clean passages and straight-forward riffs are effortlessly combined with frys, growls and melodic vocals.
You'd think it was planned exactly like this!
