Atomic Bitch is proud to announce the indie release of their 3rd album “Body Shop” on their own Top and Bottom Records. This album features ten new tracks of Biatch Rock and Roll. Engineered solely by Brad Davis and Ursulla Tadlock and mastered by Hans Hitner (the Fly’s, Maypole) this record combines electronic beats, synths, gold spandex, Bitch Hop and a punk attitude. Brad and Ursulla are originally from New Orleans and this album is a reflection of that city’s ability to nurture their misfits long after they have left home.
Don’t take our word for it though, just read the first official 2006 review from
Chuck Eddy “Music Editor” of New York’s Village Voice:
Ursulla Tadlock is clearly the star of Atomic Bitch. I love how she gives the Cali new wave glam-punk valley girl voice a Louisiana drawl. Whoever writes the melodies (insert “Brad Davis”), which may or may not be Ursulla, is a star too. And assuming those two gals rapping cute come-ons in "LipsTick-DynaMITE" (including come-ons about their inner thighs and come-ons to "Southern truckers"), they are stars too. The band is fine; they do their punky job and push the music forward and support the yummy hooks and stay out of Ursulla's way. More funny and goofily capitalized song titles: "shortBUS," "overWEIGHT date," "Polly PUNKneck," "CREEPY face." 10 songs in under 30 minutes. Yay!
For a sneak peek at what you might expect from an Atomic Bitch show read Bob Leggett’s Music Connection live review Oct. 2005: “Atomic Bitch put on a show that was a feast for the eyes as well as the ears. Tadlock possessed the stage, exuding charisma and command in her vocals and presence. Tadlock’s voice is like a sword and performs like rock’s elite. In fact, you can literally feel her strength within the dynamics of each song. The band put all they had into the show.”
Atomic Bitch’s CD, Body Shop can be found on atomicbitch.com, cdbaby.com, Amoeba Music Store L.A. and ITUNES. END

Sassy but sweet natured

One of the most impressive - or perhaps annoying - things about getting old is that you get to see everything again. Atomic Bitch could just have stepped up and played at CBGBs or the Roxy judging by the evidence of this album. The drummer, Brad D., keeps a Marky Ramone style, pile driving rhythm going throughout the album and lead singer Ursulla's vocals are Patti Smith meets the Go-Gos. Kicking off with the scene setter "Shortbus", it is immediately clear that this band have learned much from the punk heritage. "Mono to Stereo" and "Polly Punkneck" are neat, commercial pop songs in a brightly coloured, punk wrapper. "Goobertron" is irritatingly catchy and so is "Hip to the Kiss". "Creepy Face" sounded like a cranked up take on the kind of songs produced by the likes of Vanity in the eighties. Sassy, but sweet natured, we felt an uncontrollable urge to smile while we were listening to this album.

ATOMIC BITCH - Bodyshop:
I´m really enjoying playing the new Atomic Bitch album ´Bodyshop´ and I have to say this is one of the best albums I´ve heard this year. Musically they have a great Indie/Punk sound that compliments the voice of their wicked vocalist Ursulla Tadlock. Atomic Bitch have been described as sounding similar to the likes of ´Peaches´, ´Annie Lennox´ and ´Blondie´ and that´s something I wouldn´t disagree with but there is plenty of originality in their sound too! For me the opening track ´Shortbus´ made this album for me but to get the best out this song I suggest you check out their video HERE. It´s just a shame that the video hasn´t been featured as an extra on the album. Ten songs in all and everyone a little different from the other especially ´Lipstick-Dynamite´ which has a ´Rap´ influence to it. Have a listen to the title track ´Bodyshop´ and ´Polly Punkneck´ both of which stood out for me. Apart from a great album you can´t fault the production either and if this is the last album you buy in 2006 make sure it´s this baby. (Top And Bottom) 9/10
