THE ATOMIC BITCHWAX
II

Ed Mundell , guitarist of the famed Monster Magnet, has done it a second time with his amazing side project. As was the case with their first disc, this power trio again lays down some of the thickest, grooviest licks ever. Shying away from vocals to concentrate on extended jam sections, the group only improves itself by occasionally peppering songs with swirling Hammond organ. Blatantly borrowing from the styles of seventies acid rock, The Atomic Bitchwax make it all sound worthwhile again with their catchy licks and excellent musicianship. The drums swing, the bass booms, and Ed Mundell just gets better and better.                               Jeff Muendel
