Review: The O>Matics: "Atomic Years"
These earthly ears hear at least four catchy singles on this outing by the trio of nerds in outer space-themed O>Matic "brothers" (in the Ramones sense, I think). "Close Call" would be a smash on late '60s AM hit radio. "Senior Prom" is American Graffiti makeout music on quaaludes. "Energy" could have been recorded by late '70s-era Sparks. Finally, "Smile" sounds like a great Replacements tune, and they had a lot of great ones. I know absolutely nothing about this band, family or whoever they are except that they make interesting, catchy garage-pop with lots of variety. - C.A. Carlino
The O>matics are a high energy rock band that is almot undefinable. Taking almost every different genre and making it their own, The O>matics have an appeal to many different types of music fans of all ages and tastes. Formed in 2000 by Mark and Chris O>matic and later joined in 2002 by Jamie O>matic the trio have released 4 self produced full length CDS including: Playing Music (2001), Solar~Lunar Collection Volume 1: Solar (2002), and Solar~Lunar Collection Volume 2: Lunar (2003), and now out, the long awaited "Atomic Years". The new CD features live show favorites "Energy" (an 80's style new wave song) and "Yeah Yeah" (a quirky crowd participation anthem). Atomic Years is now available at our shows and at the following stores: Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ, Jack's Music Shoppe in Red Bank, NJ, Game Zone in East Brunswick, NJ, and Champion Ship Records in Lemoyne, PA.

This specially compiled 4 CD Box Set from Time Life features the best Folk Rock songs from the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s! Includes 71 Songs That Defined An Era and Influenced Generations... In Stores September 11
Not just another genre, folk rock was born as a statement—of purpose, of taste, of superiority—the baby boom’s first imprimatur, a musical mission and a personal battle cry in a divisive time of racial tension and escalating war. For a generation of philosopher dropouts and drug-inspired visionaries, it was also the best way to partake in the era’s hippest form of artistic expression, in numbers previously unknown to man.
