No more entries, please: We have a winner.
Jersey stoner-rockers Atomic Bitchwax take the prize for Coolest Band Name Of All Time, hands-down. And I’m pleased to report they’ve got the game to go with the name. Featuring moonlighting Monster Magnet guitarist Ed Mundell, AB’s debut disc lets fly with all the fuzzed-out blooze-rawk psychedelia of Ed’s day job on space-rock tracks such as Birth To The Earth and Kiss The Sun. A few harder-edged numbers — notably the less-than-tender love song Hope You Die — bring things back down to street level, however, while a cover of guitar hero Tommy Bolin’s Crazed Fandango shows this power trio is more than just the latest entry in the Fu Manchu/Nebula muscle-car pack.
