Atomic Blonde is a four piece all female rock band that blends heavy guitar riffs with emotionally charged melodies. The group was established in Nashville, TN in 2004, with original members Kendra, Dacia, Danielle and Amber. Their unique sound can be classified somewhere in between the Hard Rock and Active Rock genres, and have had most success with airplay on Active Rock stations. Their songs are generally compared to artists such as Hoobastank, Daughtry, The Distillers and Flyleaf.
Starting out, the hard rock quartet called themselves Glass Lily. It wasn’t long before they realized that their original choice didn’t adequately describe their high-energy, guitar heavy sound. The girls toyed around with several ideas before someone suggested they somehow incorporate the word ‘atomic’ into their name. They immediately knew they were onto something. After choosing the second half of the new name, which refers to the hair color of the band’s fiery frontwoman, Atomic Blonde was born. As if it were the final piece of the puzzle, the rechristening was just what the band needed.
For the past few years Atomic Blonde has been receiving lots of attention nationwide through both electronic media as well as print. In 2005, they were winners of the Ernie Ball battle of the bands, where they were in competition with over 12,000 other bands. The group has had their picture in numerous newspapers and magazines, including the national publication, Metal Edge. They even had a song considered for Disney’s “Herbie: Fully Loaded”. In 2006, Rollingstone.com featured the band’s music on their main page. They have spent weeks at the top of the myspace.com charts, reaching as high as 2, and have had over one million plays on their myspace player. By last year, Atomic Blonde’s music has been played on over 70 different radio stations, including two XM channels, and hundreds of different podcast stations. After Fox used a video clip of the band in their commercials for “The Next Great American Band”, their popularity exploded around the world. The girls had to open up an international webstore to meet the demands for Atomic Blonde music and merchandise worldwide.
After the original guitar player Amber left the band in 2007, the group gained a new member, Fran. The girls were excited to be writing songs with the solo-lead element that Fran added, and are currently working on new material . The girls take exceptional pride in their live performances, receiving numerous rave reviews.
