History
[edit]Jon Black founded Fort Atlantic in 2010 following the dissolution of a record label he had owned and operated in Athens, Georgia.[1] Black began recording songs in a home studio and collaborated with drummer Josh Cannon to prepare them for live performances.[1] The group released three EPs between 2010 and 2011, after which Black worked with producer Tom Schick on a full-length album.[2]
In 2012, Fort Atlantic signed with Dualtone Records and released a self-titled debut album.[3][4] The album reached No. 32 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.[5] In addition to CD and digital formats, it was also released as a Nintendo cartridge.[6][7]
Songs from the album appeared in a season-six episode of Californication and in The Final Page, a season-eight episode of How I Met Your Mother, as well as in the third season of Longmire.[8] Following the album’s release, the band performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival.[9]
