Atomship was a Progressive rock group from Mississippi, USA, formed in 2003. Originally called Watership Down, after Richard Adams’ classic tale, the band's logo is a cartoon alien rabbit, designed by guitarist Nathan Slade. The logo also reflects the group’s interest in UFOs, extra-terrestrials, and the like, as confirmed by the album’s title, which references the alleged date of the UFO crash in Roswell, N.M. in July 1947. The band has reformed with original vocalist Derek Pardoe under the name AtomshipDown, a combination of the band's two names, and are recording material for their next album which plans to be a double disc release.
