Great music. a punk-geek dude singing humorous and strange lyrics.
"What do you do with your 1500 lbs? You play goalie. Most goalies are quick, react at the drop of a hat, but I don't need to be quick when I got so much fat."

I now regret not buying more merchandise at the show I saw.
Shirts for sale: front: "Stick your foot up your fucking ass"
                 back: "Use the metric system"

Atom's music sounds like 80s music because he borrows heavily from it.

On A Society of People Named Elihu, snippets can be heard of

The theme from Beverly Hills Cop ("Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer) is cleverly inserted in a cover of Nutrition by The Dead Milkmen on Making Love.

Atom covers Madonna's Open Your Heart in its entirety on Redefining Music, and if that isn't 80s music, I don't know what is.

Time to do some housecleaning, say I... so...

Atom and His Package, as stated in the writeups above, is a one man geek punk rock band hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Heading up the band is singer/songwriter/everythingman Adam Goren. Immediately after recieving his degree in neuroscience, he ditched it and went headlong into the Philly music scene. He plays around 200 shows a year, not counting the bat mitzvahs. The only equipment Atom uses are a Yamaha QY70 synthesizer and his trusty electric guitar.
