About this project
Hello friends,
Things have been quiet in the Atombender camp, but that’s about to change! In 2009, we released Poison Gases for the Masses. We spent the next couple years after that writing and re-writing the 11 songs that will become our newest full-length album, Wait of the World. We could not be more excited to get back into the studio and get these songs recorded! Most of all, we can’t wait until you get to hear them.
Atombender has continued being a band for the last six years for one reason- you. We could not do what we do without the incredible support our fans give us. If it weren’t for the experience of a room of people singing our songs or the chance to meet new people and make new friends at our shows, we would have stopped doing this a long time ago. The time has come when we ask for your support again. These 11 songs that will become Wait of the World are the best songs we’ve ever written and they hold a lot of meaning to us at this time in our lives. We have no choice but to turn them into the best album we can. But to put them out, we’re going to need your help. This Kickstarter page has been set up so that we can raise the $3,500 it will cost us to record, mix and master, and produce the album. We will be recording with Griffin Landa at The Establishment recording studio in Des Moines, Iowa. We plan on releasing Wait of the World in the fall of 2011. We have set up a huge variety of donation options and rewards, so find the one that’s perfect for you. Remember, no gift is too small. Thanks again for all the support and encouragement you all have given throughout the years!
Love forever,
Atombender

Atombender is a group of six close friends from the Ames, Iowa area who came together as a band because of their love of music. Atombender is known for their energetic and chaotic live shows and melodic punk sound mixed with the unique sounds of trumpet, trombone, and keyboards. Drawing from a huge variety of influences, Atombender’s sound can’t exactly be pigeonholed, and that’s the way they like it. The members put as much energy and joy as they possibly can into playing their music and hope to evoke those same feelings in you.
We released Poison Gases for the Masses in 2009 and spent the next couple years writing and perfecting Wait of the World. We can't wait to release it and show our fans what we've created!
