This is fun, it's tight and it'll make you go Boom Boom Boom.

 

If you felt you've been missing out on a beefy dose of rhythm and blues lately, wrap them around this debut record by Melbourne lads Major Tom & The Atoms. It'll ruffle your hair, tip you upside down and shake the coins from your pockets, and you'll buy it a drink for the privilege. Tom Hartney (ex- Little Red) fronts this six-piece, but if you're after the innocent Coca Cola or pop-tastic Rock It, you'll be disappointed. Major Tom & The Atoms have lost the training wheels. This is fun, it's tight and it'll make you go Boom Boom Boom.
