The birth of Atom Strange began in the winter of 2006 when guitarist Alex Rude was working part time for a friend at a high end comic book shop in Manhattan. Guitarist Alex Rude came across a copy of DC Comics Showcase #117. It was the debut of the title character of Adam Strange. With a tattoo of an atom on his arm and his life long fascination with the world of Scifi and outer space, Atom Strange was born. After two years of song writing and recording and a few line up changes, the first cohesive line up took shape with: Alex Rude (Guitars), Rick Dunn (Vocals) John Reed (Bass), Tom Denman (Guitar) and Tony Baptist (Drums).

ATOM STRANGE released their first cd in June of 2007. The self titled record contains 6 songs including the heavy ballad “More Or Less” and the progressive epic "Burn /Space Walk/ Re-Entry". The band is currently at work on their second cd to be released in the summer of 2009.

ATOM STRANGE's sound is the direct result of the effects of cosmic radiation, dark matter and energy and the bending of space and time. There have been comparisons to such notable musicians as Led Zeppelin, TOOL, Alice In Chains, A Perfect Circle, Pinback, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Soundgarden, Iron Maiden and other hard rock/progressive bands. ATOM STRANGE tends to stay away from the predictable and always come up with surprises in their music. Lots of dynamics and interesting changes. That and a healthy dose of science fiction mixed with everyday life and great hooks are the main ingredients to ATOM STRANGE music.

Instrumentation Rick Dunn (vocals), Alex Rude (guitars), John Reed (bass), Tony Baptist (drums and percussion), Tom Denman (guitars)
