Ned's Atomic Dustbin: Anthology, CD/DVD

Formed in Stourbridge in West Midlands in November 1987 Ned's Atomic Dustbin took their name from an episode of The Goon Show. The band are unusual for using two bass players in their line-up: Alex Griffin plays melody lines high up on one bass, and Mat Cheslin plays the regular bass lines on the other. This gives the band a tense and highly driven sub-hardcore sound featuring distorted effects-laden guitar and energetic drums. 

This anthology consisting of tunes from across their career also features their seminal chart-topping long-form video ‘Nothing is Cool’ on DVD (as a bonus disk) for the first time - something fans of the band with worn out VHS copies have been requesting for some time. 

The set features sleeve notes by the band's Matt Cheslin, who gives us a unique insight into the band and their career from his own perspective. All artwork incorporated in the set was designed by the band's inimitable long-term sleeve artist Helga.
