Alternative Press tipped off their readers in its May ’07 issue when they sounded off that "Eyeball might be known for Thursday and My Chem right now, but give it time - New Atlantic could definitely be their new breakout band."
The prophetic review of the band’s first full length, The Streets, The Sounds, And The Love, seemingly predicts that ‘the little band that could’ would ultimately have the single best selling first week of any Eyeball artist ever, including both Thursday and My Chemical Romance (that is, until the release of The Number 12's "Mongrel".
Now known as the new breed of indie-pop upstarts, New Atlantic was founded by Chris Hindley (guitar) and college classmate Giovanni Gianni (vocals). The band soon hit the ground running with the addition of bassist Dave Carlson, guitarist Matthew Sztyk, and drummer Jacob Kalb. Their attention to detail and work ethic is apparent in everything from their perpetual tour schedule to their flawlessly crafted songs. It’s a quality that not only attracted countless labels to the band, but an invisible force that kept their fans on the edge of their seats for every gut wrenching nightly performance.
They quickly caught the attention of The Starting Line guitarist and up-and-coming manager Matt Watts after signing to Eyeball Records in September of 2006, and wasted no time beginning production with Casey Bates (Fear Before the March of Flames, Gatsby’s American Dream, Daphne Loves Derby) and Bobby Darling (Gatsby’s American Dream).
With the help of a contagiously hooky first single, “Wire and Stone” and an intense touring schedule, New Atlantic has created a momentum which is impossible to deny. The band has been calling the road home for the past two years, touring the country alongside the likes of The Starting Line, Cartel, Cobra Starship, Boys Like Girls, Mae and countless other developing bands. The video for “Wire and Stone”, featuring long time friend and supporter, Will Pugh, the lead singer of Cartel, has been featured on nearly every major video network including FUSE, MTV, Music Choice and has also enjoyed success on-line with front page features on MySpace music videos, Yahoo! and AOL Music.
Now after a high profile slot at Bamboozle, an amazing national package tour with select Warped Tour dates, and a record which proves their careful planning and exact execution, New Atlantic adds even more momentum to their already building success story.
