About Shattered Atom

From our early days living in, rehearsing in, and even recording in a dusty, West Los Angeles guest house, rented by singer Jeremy Wilford and drummer Kelsey Drayton, the idea behind “Shattered Atom” has steadily come into being. While much power can emerge from a small entity, our music explodes, creating a vast soundscape in which to get lost.

Best described as an alt/pop band, the unique sound of Shattered Atom can be regularly heard at any Hollywood hot-spot, recognized at such world-renowned venues as The Viper Room, The Derby, and House of Blues.

Wilford and Drayton, along with Daniel Khim (guitar) and Troy Ross (bass) are Shattered Atom. Wilford, the frontman, performs with unbridled passion, drawing comparisions to Coldplay’s Chris Martin and The Killers’ Brandon Flowers. Khim’s avant-garde guitar licks and unique approach to playing add an atmospheric quality while Ross – a guitarist turned bass player – sets the tone for each song as he ebbs and flows with Khim’s stylings. Meanwhile, Drayton keeps his finger on the collective pulse of the band to guide Shattered Atom as we create hook-filled tunes for appreciative fans everywhere.

From headlining at Liverpool’s famous Cavern Club to performing in front of a packed MGM Grand arena, Shattered Atom’s members are a creative and determined force to be reckoned with. With the release of our debut EP entitled, “Why,” in 2007 and subsequent placement on such hit shows as MTV’s “Band in a Bubble,” Shattered Atom pushes on and is currently in studio working on a full-length album which will feature our hit single, “Hold Me Closely.”

But, seriously, who cares what we say…here’s what others are saying:

“Shattered Atom are aptly named…They literally shatter musical boundaries. Their music, a form of indie pop-rock, is almost experimental as it combines elements of Coldplay and Radiohead, with the excess of INXS. With intriguing appeal, they create a new style of music that shapeshifts genres and takes their listeners on a breathtaking journey through a wondrous soundscape.” - Bernard Baur, Review Editor, Music Connection Magazine

“Shattered Atom, a thoroughly pleasant surprise, such a promising band, to become even more pleasant and surprising in time.” - Arni Zachariassen, host of “The Alternative Music Program,” Faroe Islands, Lindin FM 101

“Shattered Atom are a band with very ambitious musical vision. There is nothing mediocre about what they’re trying to do.” - Brian Garcia, Producer/Mixer (Our Lady Peace, Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Michelle Branch)
