Interview: Kristopher Roe of The Ataris

The Ataris

This past week I was able to schedule a Zoom call with Kristopher Roe of The Ataris to discuss the band’s great returning single, “Car Song.” The song is from the band’s forthcoming LP that is tentatively scheduled for a March 2026 release. In this interview, Kristopher shared key insights behind how the new album is shaping up, his life experiences that led to several of the key songs on the new record, as well as his planned release of a cover of “Summer of ’69”. The Ataris will be releasing several new singles and 7″ records leading up to the band’s new album.

Review: Arm’s Length – There’s A Whole World Out There

There’s A Whole World Out There is the sophomore effort from Ontario’s own Arm’s Length and it takes the listener on a thrilling journey of self-discovery, while still honing in on relatable themes like self-doubt, anxiety, and more. Anton DeLost is once again at the helm as the band’s producer, and he lets the band expand upon what made them so charming on their earlier releases. After having extensive touring experience under their belts from their solid debut, Never Before Seen, Never Again Found, Arm’s Length continue to impress with a unique repertoire here of slick hooks, improved musicianship, and a knack for descriptive songwriting.

Mark Hoppus Talks With NME

For decades I’ve not told stories or I’ve felt like it wasn’t my place to say anything. I really prefer to be a little bit more reserved and private – as outgoing and ridiculous as I am. Talking about how I felt about things, arguments that our band has had, struggles that I’ve had, to put it all out there in the world feels kind of cathartic and healing. Even putting out the bad stuff feels joyous to me.
