It was in 1992 an unknown band from Sweden went up on all the national charts without noone even knowing who they were. They were called Atomic Swing and played some kind of radiofriendly 70's retro-pop and became stars over a night in Sweden with hits like 'Smile' and 'Stone me into the groove'. The album that came a couple of months after was called "A Car crash in the blue" and sold tremendously well in Sweden, so well it was rewarded with a Grammy, Zeppeliner, Rockbear and a Slitzkey. They also released the cd in Asia and Australia and did very well over there.

Atomic went out on atour and almost toured themselves to death, came back and recorded the next album called 'Bossanova Swap Meet', released in 1994, which flopped. The band decided to take a break, Niclas moved to London and the bassplayer, Petter Dahlström left the band. It would not be until 1997 they released their next, and last, album which was recorded in France under the producer Mike Hedges (Manic Street Preachers, Bernard Butler, etc...). The album was called 'Fluff' and took Atomic to another level compared to the other albums, sounding more rock than 70's pop, but still the audience wasn't embracing them despite the good critic it got (I think it's a GREAT album myself). Atomic decided to split up in 1998.

Niclas Frisk, lead singer and songwriter, got tired of starship and has been working as producer and songwriter on his own, producing bands as 'Popsicle' and 'Space Age Baby Jane'. He has also written music to a movie by Daniel Bergman called 'Svenska Hjältar' (Swedish heroes), and had a project with Nina in 'The Cardigans'. Micke Lohse and Herik Berglund plays in a new band called 'The Kooks'.
