These Uk funk rockers kind of irritated me at the time, especially front man Sean Cunningham who pranced, cavorted and leapt his way round stage like a bad version of FNM's Mike Patton, but to their credit Atom Seed were the best of a bad bunch I guess, a sad bunch of imitators which included Scat Opera and Ignorance from the UK, alongside Scatterbrain, FFW, blah blah. Atom Seed actually offer a little bit more metallic soul than the hordes of other slap-happy idiots, 'Castles In The Sky' is quite a stirring track, but it somehow seems a little out of place alongside the rubbery 'Rebel' and cheesy 'Bitchin'. Sure, the band do rock, pouring out energetic funky grooves but it's shelf-life was certainly limited, the band finding it hard enough to make a name for themselves amongst the funk-metal fraternity whilst always struggling to become more than an indie band.
5/10
