About Me

The New York City based alternative hard-rock band,
Atomic Brother , was formed in 2003 by James Melillo (lead vocals/guitar) and S.A. Sebastian Gnolfo (bass/vocals). While categorized mainly as hard-rock, the diversity of the band's musical influences is apparent in their ability to master a number of different styles--from rock to metal to punk, and even slower songs and ballads.
Listeners are often surprised at the wide range of musical styles found on See Me Comin'. After the heavy riffs in "Not My Fault" and the title track "See Me Comin'," it's refreshing to find that the band is also capable of playing punk rock tunes like "Employee of the Month," and even slow ballads such as "Home in the Sky" and the Spanish-feeling "Never Home."
When writing music, Melillo and Gnolfo pay no attention to the style each song turns out to be. According to Gnolfo, they were "tired of hearing bands both live and on CD that sound the same from start to finish," so they decided to focus more on writing good music and less on keeping it within a particular genre. "If it sounds good and we both like it," stated Melillo, "we'll use it. Period. A good song is a good song."
But being in a rock band in New York City can be difficult; Atomic Brother fans can get a glimpse of what life is like for the band backstage on their podcast, "Wastin' Time with Atomic Brother," which is available free of charge on iTunes. These videos follow the band through shows and rehearsals, giving the audience an idea of the trials the band must face daily.
Be sure to check out the music video for the song "Take You Away." The videos-as well as the podcasts-were directed and edited by Atomic Brother's live drummer, Mike Carrasquillo .
