The Ataris Band • Page 14

Makes me happy to see these guys together again.

 

added to bandcamp Blue Skies, Broken Hearts... Next 12 Exits | The Ataris (bandcamp.com)

 

"New music coming in 2024"

Not holding my breath haha, but am definitely hoping that happens!

 

Not certain what this is going to be, but I assume some sort of merch haha.

 

Ive heard a buncha new stuff, songs from the bandcamp demos and new new songs, some with vocals some not. Very much the next chapter from SLA/All Souls Day, and really really really good. most anticipated is a rocker with the sickest riff Kris has ever written, like Dear You era Jawbreaker by way of Futures, but still Ataris

 

I can't even remember how long it's been since All Souls Day dropped but I would love a new album in that vain. Or 12.15.10.

*MaNiFeStInG*

 

yes please

 

I understand you may not know, but are there tentative plans for an actual full length release?

 

I work with the guy who signed The Ataris to Columbia. We just did a (very good!) live Everclear album, so when The Ataris joined Everclear’s fall tour, I suggested he reconnect with Kris. They had, and continue to have, a great relationship, and I mean, I don’t know what the future holds, but I feel optimistic it will bear fruit.

And yeah, album(…s?)

 

I feel like Kris has been in a creative rut for so many years at this point so I really just want to see them release a new album and have it do well.

 

I don’t think he’s been in a creative rut. He’s been in a releasing the music he made rut. What he’s made is insanely good.

 

Yes, that’s more accurate.

 

Annnd it’s merch. And by that it’s photo prints.

 

Sounds like they’re in the studio??? This clip on their IG story sounds like it could have been something off SLA!

The new Ataris record is the Chinese Democracy of pop punk.

 

Chinese Democracy took 17 years to drop (1991-2008)

2024 is 17 years since Welcome The Night

 

Kris has had a really rough go of it over the last few years. I myself have made a lot of jokes about this album never coming out, but I hope he’s well and able to actually finish it.

 

Definitely sounds like The Ataris

 

Just needs to finish the vocals.

 

do we not count Silver Turns to Rust as the last release?

I feel like I'm not caught up on my Ataris lore, but I always thought it was a wasted opportunity that they didn't make some kind of attempt to follow up quickly after All Souls was in the Tony Hawk remake, since that probably got them in front of the most "new" fans in years.

also, looking at their bandcamp for the first time in forever, it's really cool if Kris actually owns the rights to all of their music.
