The Atomic Bitchwax is an American rock band from Long Branch, NJ that gloriously mixes balls-to-the-wall rock 'n' roll, smashing '70s riff-rock and proto-metal into a towering celebration of the riff that High Times magazine appropriately dubbed "thunder-boogie." Formed in the mid-90s by bassist/singer/songwriter Chris Kosnik, guitarist Ed Mundell and drummer Keith Ackerman, their first self titled album was released in 1999 with the NYC label Tee Pee Records, establishing them with audiences of the burgeoning stoner rock community. Featuring the current lineup of Kosnik, drummer Bob Pantella and guitarist Garrett Sweeny (all also members of Monster Magnet), the band returns in 2020 with their latest 10-song opus Scorpio.
