Is Atomic Bush Getting Back Together?

Atomic Bush

If you are one of us 90s kids, then you must know who or what I am talking about here. Most of the Millennials grew up listening to Atomic Bush in their college years. Atomic Bush started out as an underground, progressive rock band back in 2005, and we lived to witness their biggest hit “Sano Prakash” and many others. However, after doing some gigs mostly with KTMRocks and releasing their only album P Jam, the band took a break. But better late than never, something big is happening again. Is Atomic Bush getting back together? Thank you for the question.

What Happened to Atomic Bush?

The decision to split up the legendary band was due to the conflict of interests among the band members. Each of them had bigger ambitions. Sunny Tuladhar started his own line of custom guitars as ST Custom Guitars which he uses for his gigs. Bibhusan Basnet kept himself busy with filmmaking as well as music. Sunny, Rajan, and Abhishek from Atomic Bush formed Jindabaad with talented Rohit Shakya and Kiran Shahi. If you want to read more about what happened to Atomic Bush, you can find the full article here.

NEW UPDATE on Atomic Bush!

Atomic Bush is definitely getting back together, this time for sure. They are working on the comeback album, and Bibhushan Basnet even played a few lines from the song “Jhilimili” as treat to the fans.

Is Atomic Bush Getting Back Together?

Back to the trillion dollars question. Is Atomic Bush getting back together? Based on Sunny Tuladhar’s Instagram post, we can expect to hear something from the legendary band Atomic Bush very soon in 2023. You can also see that Atomic Bush is officially on Instagram now. Furthermore, Sunny Tuladhar posted stories on his Instagram where he hinted that Atomic Bush rehearsals were going on, after 18 years. It’s a no-brainer that the band is cooking something. Even a 5th grader can tell that! Which grade are you on?

It’s expected that the band will come up with something within March. The fans are really excited about this most-awaited reunion after 18 years. God Damn, if you were born when the band had split up, you would be eligible to be a citizen by now. You’d better call yourself Sano Prakash.

All the band members, viz. Sunny Tuladhar, Bibhusan Basnet, Abhishek Bhadra, Rajan Shrestha, and Alec Sciamma are back together to revive Atomic Bush once again. Bibhusan Basnet looks like a wise, modern-day sage. Well, Sunny Tuladhar still looks the same. Tom Cruise should take some advice from our Sunny Dai on how to stay and look young forever. And, of course, there are some gray beards in the band. They haven’t grown older. They have become wiser.

Final Words

Atomic Bush is one of the few underground bands that shook the Nepalese Rock Music horizon and became more popular than many other mainstream bands. I can’t even remember other contemporary bands from the first decade of the 21st century. But Atomic Bush never faded away from our hearts and minds. We wanted more of them. And they didn’t let us down. It’s only a matter of time before Atomic Bush officially reunites again and fires up the crowd and the stage.

Are you ready to rock? Are you ready for some crazy headbangs?

Atomic Bush

Most of the 90s kids had the privilege of growing up listening to Atomic Bush in their teenage years. They started out as an underground progressive rock band in Kathmandu and soon became more popular than the other mainstream bands. This legendary band was formed back in 2005 and went on to set the bar high in the progressive rock music genre in Nepal. While the rest of the world was tuning up to Hip-Hop and Electronic Pop Music, Atomic Bush was experimenting with rock music to give it a completely new meaning. Even though the band is no longer active, the milestone set by the Atomic Bush still continues to inspire generations of music to come within the country and beyond. By the way, do you know what happened to the Atomic Bush? Let’s find out!

Ballad of ‘Sano Prakash’

Atomic Bush hit the underground music with its groundbreaking, head-banging epic progressive ballad ‘Sano Prakash’. The song keeps you mesmerized for the complete 7 minutes and 20 seconds with everything you want in progressive rock music. The first 60 seconds is the legendary riff played in ¾ beat that transitions into another 25 seconds of lead before opening up with the first verse. The lyrics are profound in meaning. If you have contemplated the lyrics of the song, you would feel it. The second lead starts around 03:15 which sets the mood for the next verse of the song to reach the climax. The final lead is the most amazing part of the song.

If you have been to the live performance of ‘Sano Prakash’ by Atomic Bush organized by ktmRocks, then you must know what I mean. Bibhusan Basnet, the lead vocalist of Atomic Bush plays the second solo so smoothly and then makes the crowd go crazy as he starts to shred and do vocals for the outro part. It just gives us goosebumps. Back when Rock and Metal Music were trying to grow up and get recognized in Nepal, ‘Sano Prakash’ by Atomic Bush set the standard for the genre. The guitar solo of ‘Sano Prakash’ is the most sought-after guitar lesson in Nepal. It is one of the best guitar solos ever created in the history of Nepalese Rock Music. 

In a sentence, ‘Sano Prakash’ is the anthem of Nepali Rock Music.
