The Atomic Bitchwax is an American stoner rock band from New Jersey, formed in 1992 by bassist/singer/songwriter Chris Kosnik, guitarist Ed Mundell, and drummer Keith Ackerman.[1] They did not release their first full-length album until 1999, upon signing with Tee Pee Records. Mixing elements of 1960s psychedelic rock and 1970s riff rock filtered through modern progressive rock,[2] their music has appeared in TV shows such as Jackass, Homewrecker, and various Fox Sports broadcasts.
The first version of the group became a local jam band playing the New Jersey and New York area. This lineup released two full-length records, a self-titled debut in 1999, and Atomic Bitchwax II in 2000. In addition, they released the Spit Blood EP in 2002 via the MeteorCity label.[1] In 2004, Mundell was unable to keep up with the planned tour schedule and replaced by guitarist/vocalist Finn Ryan (formerly of Core).[3] Since then, the band has released nine studio albums and has performed 1,500 live concerts. Their 2006 EP Boxriff was engineered by Jack Endino.[4]
Current Monster Magnet drummer Bob Pantella joined the band in 2007, and the album TAB4 was released the following year.[1] In 2011, they released the album The Local Fuzz, which consisted of one 42-minute track of 50 riffs back-to-back.[5] In the following years, the band toured throughout the world. Kosnik became a member of Monster Magnet in 2013 in addition to his duties with The Atomic Bitchwax.[1] The album Gravitron was released in 2015,[6] followed by Force Field in 2017.[7] Ryan left the band after 15 years in 2018,[3] and was replaced by Monster Magnet guitarist Garrett Sweeny who appears on the band's 2020 release Scorpio.
