Australian-based brothers, Atlas Genius<\/strong> are thrilled to release their new album End of the Tunnel<\/a>. The band has put together a special recipe for the new collection of songs. Album ingredients: Lost love, guilt, passion, a dash of social commentary, existential crises, reckless abandon, and honest self-criticism. May contain traces of lust.
In support of the new record, the band will embark on their first tour in 6 years. The co-headline tour  with Robert DeLong<\/strong> will kick off September 8<\/strong> in Chicago and will run throughout the US until October 21, when it concludes at Los Angeles\u2019 Echoplex. 
The upcoming tour will mark the band\u2019s first tour in 6 years. 2024 also marks the 11-year anniversary of the band\u2019s debut album When It Was Now,<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>which features top charting songs including the certified platinum \u201cTrojans<\/strong>\u201d which hit #3 on the US Alternative charts and \u201cIf So<\/strong>\u201d which peaked at #8.

About Atlas Genius<\/strong>: Their Father was a self made man. He started as a miner, miles below the Australian earth before becoming a successful engineer. But his dreams fell apart following an incapacitating heart attack and a 2 year battle for his life. While their mother tended to their ailing father, the 3 teenage sons, Keith, Steven & Michael grew up quickly having to provide for the family. Eldest Keith\u2019s job at KFC wasn\u2019t enough, so the Jeffery brothers started playing gigs to pay the family\u2019s bills. Even the youngest, 14 year old drummer Michael, had to balance school work and early mornings with their late night cover band shows in the local Adelaide clubs. After a few years and the healing of their father, the band built a recording studio in their home\u2019s garage. Out of this home studio came the band\u2019s debut album and certified platinum hit single \u201cTrojans.\u201d 
Over their career, Atlas Genius has traveled the world supporting Weezer, Blink 182, Incubus, Silversun Pickups, The Neighborhood, Passion Pit, Imagine Dragons, The Kooks, and more. Atlas have performed at some of the most iconic and prestigious festivals including Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Outside Lands, Bottlerock, Shaky Knees, and Life is Beautiful and has been featured on Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, James Corden, Conan O\u2019Brien, David Letterman and Jay Leno<\/em>.
