LOCAL BAND ATOMIC SON SET TO RELEASE DEBUT EP
West London-based band Atomic Son are due to release their debut EP this summer.
Atomic Son started as a studio collaboration between the internationally renowned producer Youth and singer-songwriter/guitarist Charlie Gardner in 2011. Charlie began recruiting band members for the project between studio sessions and had soon begun rehearsing with local musicians James Simmins (guitar) and Jono Willis (bass guitar). The line-up was completed in early 2012 by the addition of Tom Grashion (drums) and Jamie Grashion (keyboards/guitar). Atomic Son have since played a number of local gigs, as well as further afield at venues around London including The Dublin Castle in Camden and The Scotch Club in Piccadilly and they will be revisiting The Elgin in Ladbroke Grove on Friday 24th May.
