Founding Edit

In April 2005, in Hollywood, California, producer Hank Linderman (The Beach Boys, Eagles) introduced New Zealand rocker Ben Campbell (a former member of the band Zed)[1] and his sister Beth Campbell (a backing vocalist for the band Chicago),[1][2] to 19-year-old American solo artist Sean Cunningham.[2] Together with Joe McCallum,[2] the group decided to form the band Atlas.[1]

Located in Auckland, New Zealand,[3] Atlas released their second single "Crawl" in March, 2007, and on 5 March, "Crawl" debuted at #9[4] before moving up to claim the top spot of the Official New Zealand Music Chart the next week,[5] where it stayed for a total of seven weeks.[6] Their next single was "Magic 8".

Atlas released their debut album Reasons for Voyaging on 19 November 2007,[1] entering the Official New Zealand Music Chart the following week at #4, which was its peak position.[7]
