SHUT THE WORLD OUT? The Punkfactory: "Remember that old-school punk bands? Do you miss them? Well, you don't need to suffer no more, 'cause Atlas Losing Grip come to save you! This release is something refreshing on the Punk scene, but that's nothing new because nordic bands always come out with great works!
Shut The World Out is an album with political basis, no bullshit! We can found some similarities to bands like Pennywise, Anti-Flag (on the lyrics mainly) and also Bad Religion (mainly on the voice). They play a very powerfull music, but the melody is not forgotten; the drums are smashing, the guitars are very versatile and the bass does it's work the best way possible; the voice is the major force behind this machine, main vocals and choirs take us to the middle of a protest, filled with ange! It's magic..."
xroldx.blogspot.com: "You remember that time when you bought a record from Epitaph and you didn't have to listen to it to know it was quality punkrock? The same days when everyone in Sweden seemed to be playing in a hardcore or punkband? When Satanic Surfers, No Fun At All and Millencolin were able to sell out venues? That was the time when I started listening to punkrock and going to shows. It's clear that those days are gone but here comes Atlas Losing Grip with a record that puts me in a timemachine and slings me back to those days.
You can't misinterpret the influence that early Strung Out, Ten Foot Pole and Satanic Surfers must have had on this band. Still 'Shut The World Out' doesn't come over as a relic or as an outdated record. That has to do with the quality of the songwriting, which is great, and the production as well.
What is also good about this release is that most of the songs are very political instead of other typical subject for bands in this genre, being girls, summer and skating. Opener 'Decreasing Development' is about the western world funding civil wars in Africa and 'Tearing International Treaties' is about the US government not participating in climate control.
If this band was around in the mid nineties they would have a bright future ahead of them for sure, still their music and message is as relevant now only the style they play isn't the big thing anymore."
NEW POLLUTION Fanzine: "The first thing that strikes you is the high quality production. "Shut the World Out is a fast paced record that packs plenty of punches. "Nothing has Changed" is a nitro charged track of middle fingered rage that shouts back at the shit the world throws in our faces. It..s an impressive punk album that stands out on it..s own merits" /Warren Smith

"For a few years it seemed like the sunny, melodic type of punk rock that was so populair in the nineties was dying out. Probably it's a bit too soon to speak of a revival now, but lately it seems like there are more and more new bands that go back to that type of music, which I think is a really good thing. Atlas Losing Grip is one of those bands.
These five guys from Sweden play the type of punk rock that's usually referred to as the 'Fat Wreck style' and they do it really well. This album is their first full length release and contains twelve originals plus an Adhesive cover song. It's an album full of fast, catchy and energetic songs with excellent vocals and thick layers of warm Bad Religion-ish backing harmonies.
If you're into bands like Strung Out, Propagandhi, Satanic Surfers and Good Riddance, you can hardly go wrong with this band.

"A punkrock band from Sweden? Ha! What else are they gonna come up with! Seriously though, there used to be a time where it seemed like every band from Sweden (apart from Abba) played this kind of hardhitting punkrock. Just think of Venerea, Millencolin, No Fun At All or Satanic Surfers! Now it’s all rock n roll or hardcore. Luckily there still is a band carrying on with the sound of yore… Atlas Losing Grip. “Shut The World Out” is filled with the kind of punkrock / skatepunk that I listened to nonstop when I first got into this scene. Fast-paced rhythms, shredding guitars and tons of melody and vocal harmonies. These guys would’ve fit right in on the Fat Wreck or Epitaph roster from a decade ago. What? I’m too young to be nostalgic? Fuck it, I like “Shut The World Out”… now where are my baggy pants? Score: 7.5 out of 10"
This is a short clip from our 3 show minitour in march 2009.

We have not updated the page in a while. This is because we have been busy with recording a new EP and rehearsing a lot with our new line-up.
Yep!
We have a new singer.
His name is Rodrigo. Some people might have heard him sing before. Today we will post one of the new tracks from the new recording that is the first with him as a lead singer. We are gonna do three shows in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands this weekend, and this is going to be the first three shows with the new lineup. Be sure to come out and shout with us.
Also added another review of "Shut the world out" that i found on the web.

Unfortunately we have to cancel the small tour in january together with Go Drowsy. We had problems booking it.
We would love to get back on the road again as soon as possible but we have lots of stuff going on with the band at home as well.
We are rehearsing as hell right now.
This is the way we roll:
1. Do nothing for a long time.
2. Make Stefan write songs when he really doesnt have the time.
3. Become stressed and live in the rehearsal room when theres really too little time before studiotime.
4. Make kickass record.
News 081109:
Julian is Currently on tour in the US with Sista Sekunden, so we are writing songs and waiting for him to come home so we can start to rehearse them.
We have booked Studio Time for January 2009. We will record 7 or something new songs and it will be a self made production with something new to it.
We have big news coming up.
There used to be some pictures of t-shirts here.
Hopefully in a not so distant future, we are going to open some kind of webshop where we can keep better track of merch-orders. Until then catch us at a show!
ATLAS LOSING GRIP started out in early 2005 with an intention to play honest melodic punkrock with personal and political lyrics.
The sincerity in the melodic punkrock scene has faded and not many bands remember their roots.
During the first two years a bunch of members were replaced, removed and remembered before the band finally found a lineup that felt solid.
The band spent a lot of time in the rehearsal room, recorded two demos and played live frequently before entering the studio once again to record their debut full length album in october 2007.
Though the band and some of the members are quite young, they are no newcomers to punkrock.
Besides ALG, Stefan plays in "Enemy Alliance" (ex-members of Satanic Surfers & Venerea) and Gustav filled in on guitar on their "New wind, Second Wave" November Tour 2007.
Besides ALG, Julian plays drums for Swedens biggest hardcore band "Sista Sekunden"- (ex-members of Satanic Surfers) touring frequently.
Shut the World Out is produced by Mattias Persson - sound engineer of Satanic Surfers & Venerea and guitarist in Swedish legendary Hardcore/Crust band Kontrovers.
