Chris and Jake will be leaving New Atlantic. You car read a message from the band below.
We’re sorry to announce that Chris and Jake will be leaving New Atlantic. It is very hard to say goodbye to two of your best friends that have been there to help you build something great out of nothing, but we respect their decisions and wish them both the best. Below are personal messages from each of them:
“I want to simply say thank you. Thank you to everyone who supported me over the past few years, the people who had faith in us musically, and to all the fans and familiar faces who came out to shows time and time again. Leaving New Atlantic was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Though sad, this change is a very positive thing. I am very excited about the next chapter of my life and am glad to have shared the past few years with my band-mates and all of you. Though touring will not be part of my future, I am still close friends with Matt, Gio, Dave, and Jake, and wish the best to all of them. Love you all.
-Chris”
“As you now know, I have made the decision to leave New Atlantic. Overall, the route I wanted to take was different from the vision my bandmates had. It is on the best of terms and I wish them the best of luck in the future. Thank you so much to all of the Eyeball staff, Matt Watts, Eva and most importantly anyone who continues to support New Atlantic. I will be actively pursuing a new band and plan on being back at it as soon as possible.
-Jake”

Here’s a band that has done nearly constant touring since they have banded together few years back. All the while they were unsigned, and still managed to get the deserved recognition of most signed indie bands. Managed by The Starting Line’s guitarist Matthew Watts, they have also managed to share the stage on tour with bands such as The Starting Line and Cartel. Now they have released this album on Eyeball Records, which is their first album released on a record label.
This cd starts off with “Cold-Hearted Town”, which is one of my favorites. It starts off with an upbeat/rock-like tempo with soaring guitars and smooth perfect on pitch vocals that just layered over the guitars and rhythm to the song. The next song “Wire And Stone” I am quite sure is their single or most popular song, is another great pop rock song, which will most likely be some kind of a hit among the band’s listeners. For most fans of Cartel you can notices that Will Pugh from Cartel sings the backup vocals in the chorus. There are other great rock songs like “Now That You’re Gone” and “I Won’t Be Back”, and there are some more slower emotional songs like “What It’s Like To Feel Small” and “Safer Times”. The title track ends the album with gathered atmosphereic vocals with a bridge chanting ‘Give it up’, which makes for a great closing track. From what I can tell there is only one older track, “Late Night Television”.
My favorite things about the album are mainly the vocals, catchy melodies, and pretty much the entire style of music the band puts together. The only complaint I have about it is really production quality, which is easily overlooked due how great the music is. New Atlantic maybe an old band to some and new to others right now, but before much longer this band is going to blow up. If you have never listened to them, this album is the perfect chance to jump on the bandwagon and check out a new amazing band before they get big. This is a great album and I am very impressed with what they have done.
