Atlanta's very own Atticus Roness is back, and he's not playing around. His new single, 'Not The One (I'm Looking For)', is a raucous power pop anthem that's guaranteed to get your head banging and your feet moving. This isn't just another track; it's the first glimpse into Roness's highly anticipated sophomore album, 'Power Pop World Domination', set to drop on April 4th, 2025.
If you're familiar with Roness's previous work, like his debut LP 'Square One' or the killer double single 'Napa Valley Suicide', you know he's got a knack for crafting melancholic melodies. But this time, he's dialling up the energy and injecting a shot of adrenaline straight into the heart of power pop.
'Not The One (I'm Looking For)' kicks off with a fuzzy bass riff that grabs you from the first second. It's a perfect blend of gritty, modern psychedelic rock and infectious power pop hooks. The track was produced and engineered by Caleb Heiple, with mixing and mastering handled by Christopher Alan Yates. Roness, a multi-talented musician, plays guitars, vocals, and keys, and he's joined by Radley Fenimore on bass and Stephen Grubb on drums. Together, they create a sound that's both nostalgic and fresh.
Roness himself describes the track as, "gritty and fun, all while showcasing some real chops by all the players. Extremely Beatlesque." He's not wrong. You can hear those classic influences shining through, but Roness and his bandmates bring their own unique style to the table.
With 'Power Pop World Domination', Roness is on a mission to celebrate the evolution of this iconic genre. From its roots in the British Invasion to its influence on new wave and alternative rock, power pop has a rich history. "Done right, power pop is too pop for rock and too rock for pop, but just right in the end," Roness explains. "This album is my way of bringing its soaring guitars and harmonies back to the forefront."
And he's doing just that. 'Not The One (I'm Looking For)' is a high-energy track with a droning, energetic finale that will leave you wanting more. It's a taste of the textured and layered production that defines the album, showcasing Roness's passion for both storytelling and sonic innovation.
Roness is a true force in the Atlanta alternative rock scene. He's known for his prolific songwriting, his electrifying stage presence, and his ability to channel a timeless yet modern energy in his music. With influences like The Beatles, Oasis, and Big Star, Roness is carving his own path in the music world. He's called this album "the sounds I've always wanted to make," and if 'Not The One (I'm Looking For)' is anything to go by, we're in for a real treat.
To celebrate the release of 'Power Pop World Domination', Roness will be hitting the road in April 2025 for a three-date run aptly titled 'The Domination Begins'. Don't miss your chance to see this power-pop revival in action. In the meantime, crank up 'Not The One (I'm Looking For)' – it's available now on all streaming platforms.
