When last we heard from Jersey riff heroes The Atomic Bitchwax, the trio were set to take off in November for a round of touring alongside Supersuckers. Turns out that’s only part of the plan. Three days after that tour plays its last show in Salt Lake City, the Bitchwax will link up with Royal Thunder for a co-headlining jaunt through the Midwest and Southeast, playing nine shows across 10 nights with what I’ve no doubt will be the kind of get-up-there-and-kick-ass energy they’ve brought to just about every show I’ve seen them play. A perennially undervalued outfit, it’s cool to see them partnered with the cred-toting likes of Royal Thunder, who have a different kind of sound than the go-go-go speed rock around which The Atomic Bitchwax base their style, but should make a fitting complement just the same.
