BIOGRAPHY
This quintet from Pittsburgh, PA can be best described as alternative, emo, make-you-feel-something rock. While somewhat tongue and cheek, the long-winded tag fits the band's personality. Atlantic Wasteland sets out to evoke an intimate connection from the listener while maintaining a light-hearted outlook on the bigger picture of life. Spacey, ambient, post-rock vibes intertwined with high-energy punk delivers a fresh take on modern rock. The group achieves a great balance between emotional awareness and not taking themselves too seriously.
