Atterkop formed in the bleak Bristol autumn of 2012. When Private Gain disbanded in the summer of '12 the remaining members had one desire, to express their love for franctic 'bass heavy' ska-punk. They enlisted the Upsettah on guitars and headed straight into the practice room. After months of writing their set consisted of nothing but a hefty dose of political dub soaked punk coupled with riff heavy beat downs and frantic ska.
