24 Hour Service Station is distributing a new tribute album to Atom and His Package entitled Up End Atom.  Released on Hartless Hind Records, the album is a non-profit project whose proceeds will benefit the American Diabetes Association. Featured artists include mcchris, the Zambonis, MC Lars, Worm Quartet, Math the Band, Zolof the Rock 'n' Roll Destroyer, and others. The album will be available digitally and physically on July 14th via MVD Distribution.

Why pay tribute to Atom and His Package?
In his six year career, Atom not only made a massive amount of friends touring the country, but also influenced hundred of kids to start bands.  His DIY ethics and relentless touring schedule made him a folk-hero in the underground scene, and he has released albums on No Idea Records, Fearless Records, Sub City and many other record labels.  His nerdy looks and quirky sense of humor made him a beloved character.  Five years after the "break up" of Atom and His Package in part due to the mounting health concerns of dealing with diabetes, a tribute album aimed at Atom benefiting the American Diabetes Association seems incredibly appropriate.
