Regular John

The Peaceful Atom... retained the Punk, Stoner rock and Hardcore influences of earlier material but also incorporated elements of Prog, Pop and Psychedelia.

After touring with The Bronx, Helmet, Monster Magnet and Dinosaur Jr, the group were named Best Rock Act of 2009 by Australian Rolling Stone magazine.

In early 2011, Regular John appeared at the Big Day Out and shortly afterward toured nationally with Motörhead before going into the studio again with Powles for work on their second album.

The single received strong airplay in Australia, being nominated for FBI Radio's Song of the Year as part of their Sydney Music, Arts & Culture Award.

It received positive reviews with Rolling Stone awarding it four stars and calling it 'the sort of album bands would expect to make twenty years into their career'.
