New Jersey noise rockers Atom Driver are having fun and getting loud about it on their latest EP, Occupants. Originally formed as a trio in 2016 and releasing music shortly after, the band added Deadguy guitarist/backing vocalist Chris “Crispy” Corvino as Atom Driver’s lead vocalist. With a final form established, Occupants is the second EP with their current lineup and you can get a taste in the form of new tune “Say Anything You Want.”
Things are noisy and fast, driven by a steady guitar riff and Crispy’s yell-sung vocals. Guitarist Mark Segal locks in with Atom Driver’s rhythm section, creating a wall of sound that doesn’t really let up for the track’s run time. There’s also heavy garage rock influence, as Crispy explains:
“The second song from Atom Driver’s Occupants, ‘Say Anything You Want,’ is a garage rock wishlist – can we pretend to be in Motörhead? Or the Drells? Just a little longer? When we go to the supermarket can everyone tell we’re not the Stooges? We don’t want to go to bed, and we don’t wanna get the car inspected. We know your Schott leather jacket doesn’t fit anymore, just please don’t ask us to behave until Monday.”
Peep the new song below. Occupants is out on August 9 as a self-release.
