Press Reviews In a review of New England's largest Local Rock festival, "LocoBazooka" (www.locobazooka.com), by Metronome Magazine author Bob Bucci writes...."The local bands rocking all three stages included" (list of 18 local bands including Fathom).Mr Bucci then continues by starting off his local review... "There's nothing bad to say about any of these bands, cause they all put up good sets, but there were a few standouts. FATHOM caught my ear with a great, heavy set filled with cool hooks and very tight playing; definitely a band to watch."Fathom received the best review from Mr. Bucci and listed them first although there were much bigger local bands playing. Some of the National Acts that played at LocoBazooka '99 included StainD, Tree, Puya, Machine Head, System of a Down, Coal Chamber, Slipknot, and Primus.Send Fathom your own review by emailing them at Fathom@apexmail.com Here is a quote from VMAG's review of Fathom's 4 song CD, written by Duke Aaron, "All said and done this is a good first outing for any band and the muscicianship is excellent. Fathom is proof positive that the Valley is spawning some impressive new and decidedly heavy bands. There is a lot of bottom-end power to these four songs and some serious talent."
