    Ryan McKay and Greg Chaisson - Atomic Kings

    Send us Fan Mail Non-Stop Rock Talk welcomes guitarist Ryan McKay and bassist Greg Chaisson of Pheonix, Arizona band Atomic Kings who released 'Too' on October 19th. The interview was recorded on site at Bizarre Guitar where the bands latest video 'I'm A Mover' was also filmed.  This is a very in depth conversation that captures the true essence of the vision of Atomic Kings. Ryan, Greg and Tyson dive into the albums material - songwriting, production and mastering are all part of the discussion.  Greg talks about some of the material dating back to the 70's. Updating the material to what works in 2026. Some of the lyrics may have been changed to protect all those involved. It is best that those people remain nameless! In true fashion of the show, which is old-fashioned Non-Stop Rock Talk, many 70's bands are brought up - Foghat, Led Zeppelin, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Alice Cooper Band, Starz, Cheap Trick, Sweet, Trapeze and Kiss. What is apparent within this conversation is the knowledge of 70's bands that Ryan and Greg possess. It was a thrill for Tyson to do a deep dive with Ryan and Greg.  Of course in having a conversation with Greg Chaisson - this means that his former band Badlands will be discussed. Tyson poses to Greg the question of working with two different drummers in the band. Greg gives the lowdown on the stylings of Eric Singer and Jeff Martin - how there styles differed.  Greg also discusses the band he was in with David Reece, Larry Farkas and Jay Schellen in the 90's called Sircle of Silence. Tyson alludes to the fact that it is truly a gem that not alot of people are aware of.  Within the interview, Ryan, Greg and Tyson always revert back to the brilliance of how 'Too' sounds on vinyl. For the listener, there is a brilliance within the vinyl that brings out the true essence of the music. This is the perfect format for this album! Support the show www.nonstoprocktalkrocks.com
