His debut album Nightflowers was written, recorded, mixed and mastered solely by him.

The lead track from the album is ‘Raging Bulls and Tequila Soda’. The track highlights the retro-inspired yet completely modern vibe Atomic Bronco has to offer.



‘Raging Bulls and Tequila Sodas’ gets your attention with the opening that leaves you wondering what is coming. This leads into classic rock guitars and a fast-paced track. The song has a lot of melodic layers that hook you. The guitar solo is also skilful and thoroughly enjoyable.
