Biography

The Ataris are an American pop punk band formed in 1995. The current members are founder Kristopher Roe, John Collura, Paul Carabello, Angus Cooke, Bob Hoag, Sean Hansen and Shane Chickeles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boys of Summer, October 7, 2003
This review is from: Boys of Summer (Audio CD)
You can always rely on The Ataris to provide you with some of the best pop punk ever to grace the airwaves.
since signing to a major, the boys have gone from strength to strength. this, the 2nd single to be lifted off the hugely successful SoLong Astoria album, will be sure to catapult them from cult status to household names. the song itself is a cover of the Don Henly classic but the Ataris do the song justice with their own unique take on it. backed by a trio of Amazing BSides its well worth parting your cash for this single as it makes a fine addition to both Ataris obsessives and casual listeners collections alike

This review is from: Boys of Summer (Audio CD)
I was interested to see if anything new had happened for the ataris,I heard them years ago on a sampler and didnt think a whole lot of what i heard.After that i just seemed to forget about them.Years past and one day while having a beer and listening to the TV i heard this track,and i was pleasantly surprised.Ive always liked the original but version gave it a little more of a modern feel.Unfortunately its only this song which is any good.Tracks 2 and 3 on the single are your average boo hoo my GF left style stuff and track 4 was......wait for it a Ramones Cover,What the hell were they thinking.If you like annoying Simple planish style stuff grab the album if you dont its only worth buying this single.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misguided Single, October 3, 2003
This review is from: Boys of Summer (Audio CD)
For The Ataris, they truly have made some underground headway. Unfortunately, when you need to make it in the mainstream, you need to start on your own, and try not to sample another artist's part. That came when they covered Don Henley's hit, The Boys Of Summer. This version, was the worst version of any cover song I've heard within the past few years. To me, it is just a dull throwback to the Punk days of the late 70's. Still, if you really enjoy the song, listen to the original version Don Henley did back in 1984. Maybe that one will give you a memory.
