Atomship
Atomship started out as Watership Down, containing Nathan Slade and Chad Kent, both of whom played on The Crash of '47, and Derek Pardoe, who only wrote songs for the album. After the name change to Atomship, Joey Culver subbed as the lead vocalist, while Pardoe had personal troubles while he dealt with anxiety problems and as a result was unable to participate. The bass was played by Slade on 5 tracks, and Cordell Crockett (bassist of Ugly Kid Joe) played on the rest.
