In the line of mid-2000s pop-punk bands (Seaway, Super American & Neck Deep…), Atlas for Home is a French band distributed by the label KROD Records/Red Toad Music. After two EPs (“More Than a Year” in 2014 and “Late Bloomer” in 2018) and numerous dates in Europe alongside bands such as State Champs, Four Year Strong or Judah & the Lion, the band is back in 2022 with OMG, second single off their upcoming EP. 

This is the second single of the “new Atlas for Home” – now composed of Marion Gualandi & Valentin Guérin – co-produced by Dory-Loup Venta (mirabelle.) and mixed/mastered by Cory Bergeron (Locket). 

In the continuity of their previous single “Keep Going” released earlier this year, “OMG” is a pop-punk track in the true sense of the word: 4 min of dynamic and catchy power chords, on a vocal line not unlike The Starting Line & Taking Back Sunday. A song that calls for the liberation of the word around personal well-being while underlining the difficulty of opening up fully to the world.

100% self-produced, the video for “OMG” features a young girl on the verge of dropping everything. The call of a friend will upset her day and bring her little by little to a total release, mixing road trip between friends and externalization of her feelings. It is a true emancipation towards happiness that the group puts in image. It’s the first time that the band goes behind the camera.

Atlas for Home on OMG:

“OMG is a title that came to us very quickly and spontaneously, as much the melody, the instrumental or the lyrics. Largely inspired by a close friend of ours who has been through a complicated situation at work, between depression & burn out, we wanted to write her a positive song to listen to when a relapse is coming. A little “you can always count on us and know that you are never alone”.”
