"Like an invitation you weren't expecting to get, Atlas Genius knocks on your door and creeps into your peripheries in stealth mode," said Neon Gold shortly after the then-unsigned band put "Trojans" on SoundCloud last year. "Fair warning: 'Trojans' will invade your head, all dressed up in a clever disguise of earnest vocals riding a hooky riff."
The Adelaide, Australia-based indie band has since signed with Warner Bros. Records, which released its debut EP, Through The Glass, on June 12. The three-song collection includes Atlas Genius' breakout hit "Trojans," which had sold more than 45,000 downloads in the U.S. alone before the band was even signed. The song now sits at #17 and rising on the BDS Alternative Radio charts with all kinds of momentum. Atlas Geinus' full-length debut, which is slated for release in early 2013.
