Henry David Thoreau remarked famously that most men live lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. The North Atlantic are not most men, though they are mostly men, and there is nothing quiet about their desperation. Wild-eyed and hungry, the men have been holed up in their keep on Golden Hill, crafting a sound and message that will make the kids steal their uncles cars and dance like robots.
Triumphing over distance, estrangement and a healthy dose of better judgment, The North Atlantic faces the future armed with whiskey-addled fervor, boundless energy and an abiding desire to quash the pessimism and stagnancy born of a million micro-genre obsessed musical taxonomists, holier-than-thou scenesters and kids who think theyve seen and heard it all. The North Atlantic is rising.Iceland will be swallowed.
Bottom of this Town
Ryan Renteria of Nightshop Films
Co-produced by Michah Dunham and Ryan Curda

What people are saying:
"It's been argued that it's impossible to create anything wholly unique, and while that may be true, The North Atlantic are about as close as you can get."
Alternative Press, 4 out of 5
"On the Verge."
CMJ New Music Monthly
"This group has made an extremely strong, promising debut."
Allmusic.com, 4 out of 5
"Singer-guitarist Jason Hendrix comes on like Archers-era Eric Bachmann channeling Andy Gill, and the group's spasmodically eruptive live shows are only hinted at on its tense, densely textured full-length, Wires In The Walls."
The Onion
"Easily one of the best, most passionate sets you'll ever see. Period."
Aversion.com
"I have to confess that math rock has always been one of those things Ive really wanted to get into but I have always had a hard time making a smooth transition from being a fan of it played live to fan of it on my stereo. The North Atlantic leave that problem in the dust on their new album, Wires in the Walls, by producing a perfect blend of absolute melody, rock, and math nerdness."
Europunk.net
"Easily one of the best San Diego releases in a year-plus, Wires on Walls combines skeletal post-punk guitars, danceable bass lines, shout- and speak-song, squalls of noise and bittersweet, tender moments of Bright Eyes-like warbled balladry."
San Diego Citybeat, 9.1 out of 10
"With parts so intense that any guitar junkie will be foaming at the mouth to songs that even the Postal Service wished they had thought of, the North Atlantic's "Wires in the Walls" runs the full spectrum of sonic goodness."
