TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb
by Philly up-and-comers TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb are making waves with the release of their new album, Idiots. I recently met one of my oldest friends, Kevin Conner (who is playing guitar in the group), in Austin to see them perform at South By Southwest. I’m looking forward to watching them catch onto the national scene.

We spoke to Dopepope about his latest Metal Man Project: ‘In the fifth grade, I drew a comic called Metal Man about a humanoid robot that went crazy and pulled knives on people.
