Description: Strings of Atlas sounds like Monster Magnet drinking whiskey with the Black Keys at an Audioslave show.
Biography: Strings of Atlas is a one man, heavy psychedelic blues band from the sands of the south west. Film Maker and writer Atlas Cage makes the guitars wail, bass lines thump and the drums drive the listener in to a tripped out world of bent reality and atomic science fiction. If you’ve ever passed an old Chevy Nova on the highway or seen one sitting alone in a store parking lot, you just may have come across him and not even have known it. Part beat poet, part rock n rolla, and a full time wandering soul Atlas tours the country playing with anyone down to jam and screening films. On the scene since 2006, he has three ep’s, a full length album three short films and a sound track to his credit, with another LP in the works. Catch Strings of Atlas on Facebook (Atlas Cage) and the music videos to “Atomic Girl” and “Find a way” on youtube as well as clips from the submission tapes to G4s ninja warriors. So keep your ears open and stay cool… Sounds Like – Monster Magnet and the black keys drinking whiskey during an Audioslave show @ the House of Blues!

Support the artists who support their fans! So much work went into this album. And I don't mean that I had to sit there for hours and think really hard, no, I had to battle thieves and addicts, sleep in cars and 24 hour wal marts, learn how to repair almost everything that can be repaired on old cars (cars that may not be meant for long distance traveling) go through mass amounts of heartache and headache and do a vast array of odd jobs. It was quite an experience, one I wouldn’t trade for anything but man was it tough. This album consists either of songs that were written while I was on the road playing music and just being a wandering soul on a tripped out planet or songs that were revised during this time. You can almost hear my heart beat in some of the tracks. It was written as a soundtrack, themes inspired by and based upon people. People. Once the album was written, I moved back to my spot in the Southwest desert, picked up two part time jobs, grew a beard and started recording. With this, I realized just how long I had been out of the natural work force but that wasn’t going to run me down. Now it’s done and Im working on playing live again, gearing up for another run into the big blue void. Find it on iheartradio, Lastfm and more this summer.
