FEATURED: Atom and His Package
We once interviewed Adam Goren, a.k.a. Atom and his Package, at what turned out to be his last NYC performance, and retreated to the back of the room afterwards to watch 200 16-year-olds go completely insane over his sampler punk rock. Within his 8-year run as AAHP, Adam released five albums, toured hundreds of venues, accidentally invented radcore, and left thousands of little emo tears in his wake when he "disbanded" with his Package (his trusty sampler) in 2004. The best thing about Adam was that he was never, ever ironic, even when he was being funny: each one of his songs has a core of sincerity that makes them worth listening to. Matt and Kim, Totally Michael, Best Fwends, and every band that ever wanted to jump up and down to electro-punk filtered through a computer at 10,000 BPM owes Adam a big favor. Indie blog Midwestern Housewives paid homage to AAHP by posting a live video of "Snowshoe BBQ", given the current climate here on the East Coast. Enjoy!
