Stourbridge, England (1987 – 1995, 2000 – present)
Ned’s Atomic Dustbin are an alternative/grebo band formed in 1987 in Stourbridge, England. They consisted of John Penney (vocals), Gareth “Rat” Pring (guitar), Matt Chelsin (bass), Alex Griffin (bass) and Dan Warton (drums). They were known for their distinct sound that utilized two bass guitarists. The band split in 1995, only to reform in 2000. They are best known for the songs “Kill Your Television”, “Grey Cell Green” and “Not Sleeping Around”.
The band took their name from an episode of The Goon Show. The band were noted for an extremely unusual two bass player line up. Bass player Alex Griffin played melody lines high up on one bass, and Matt played the regular basslines on the other. This gave the band a tense and highly driven sub-hardcore sound with distorted indie guitars and complicated Baggy drum beats. The band were also noted for their extremely young ages. The band formed while at sixth form college, and recorded their first album while still teenagers. This led to a strong teenage fanbase with a reputation for enjoying stage diving and moshing at their gigs. The band were also noted (and sometimes ridiculed) for their early image which consisted of uniformly crimped hair, short trousers and t shirts. The Neds (as their fans referred to them) were well known for their T shirts and produced over 80 different designs within three years.

I listened to "Are You Normal" for the first time in a couple of years. Wow, what an albumn! Every single track on it is a stunner. I love the bass melodies and the controlled and laid back vocals. If the lead singer was a yeller, and it must be tempting with backing like this, it would ruin the sound, as it is though it's a multi-layered musical feast.

i saw these guys twice in '95... once at a local radio station's outdoor music fest, & the other at a small club with Sponge & Letters to Cleo. they rocked both times, very energetic like someone pointed out!!!! & the use of 2 basses is a very interesting musical combo. they've always been underrated... good music always is *sigh*

one of the most uplifting and rocking indie bands ever. And I love what you can do with 2 basses, strange that no other bands use 2. Gives a good combination of bass power and melody. And good lyrics, too.
