Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Ned's Atomic Dustbin formed in 1987 in the glow of a happening scene in the town of Stourbridge, from whence The Wonder Stuff and Pop Will Eat Itself had already launched themselves across stages and airwaves across the globe.

By 1990, Neds had claimed a sizeable live audience with their explosive dual bass sound, whilst playing support to the aforementioned along with Jesus Jones and so released their first three EPs, The Ingredients EP, Kill Your Television and Until You Find Out, on indie label Chapter 22, hitting #1 in the Indie Charts and securing a deal with Sony Music using their ident label name Furtive Records.

The UK charts beckoned and, in 1991, the band enjoyed #16 with single Happy and #4 with album God Fodder.

Worldwide tours ensued while further hits included #19 with single Not Sleeping Around and #13 with album Are You Normal? in 1992. Not Sleeping Around achieved #1 Modern Rock Single in the US.

Third album Brainbloodvolume was largely overlooked, although subsequently cherished by fans, and the band split in 1995. The band returned to live stages with their full original line-up (Dan, Alex, Matt, Rat and Jonn) in 2007 and persist in reminding packed-out venues of the halcyon days of alternative rock.
