Started and based around ex MooK singer / songwriter Andy Unsworth, the Wigan based band first formed around 2000 in Wigan. Guest appearences from the likes of Nancy Elizabeth, members of Moco and The Tansads as well as several fixed line-ups and a healthy gig CV saw the band support several signed artists and headline concerts up and down the country; from Manchester to London. They recorded and released the well received "Twelve" album and recorded their unlreleased finest hour that was "Rise, Splutter, Stall. E.P."

What THEY said:

"The Atomic Hound Dog should be massive. They're Wigan's finest and it's about time the rest of the UK took notice."
Mark Ollington – Phoenix FM DJ

‘E-slide’ is a particular favourite of mine with that seeped in melancholy feeling back again. When you listen to Andy and Carolyn singing the outro “For me to believe” backed by a stark acoustic flickering, it’s tough not to be affected. It’s a hard feeling to reach for in a song, some fail, some succeed, some show glimpses of it and Andy’s songs just about manage to reach it unflappably time and time again

"I’ve played with The Atomic Hound Dog a few times now and aside from making a great musical racket they were also lovely people - even after I'd unwittingly insulted the singer's family."
