About Us
Not often do scientists and technicians get together and write music – terrible idea. Yet, with Subatomaton, this is exactly what happened, forged in the fires of chance meetings at the local music club, a game of rounders, and an x-ray experiment.
A four-piece band based in South Oxfordshire, Subatomaton play a form of “modestly firm” rock, blending influence from Queen's of the Stone Age, Bowie, Acca Dacca and Saxon amongst others, mixing with a pinch of prog and metal, and churning out a style somewhere in-between. When not prising apart riddles of matter, Subatomaton collide to see what comes out.
All four work in and around the Harwell Campus in southern Oxfordshire, and met there in 2015. Since then they have learned to live with each other's annoying habits, electing to write their own music and see what happens. Outside of Subatomaton's music, they are proud that there is no song by any other band that all four of them can play. All of them are leaving early adulthood behind.

Tris
Lead Vocals / Rhythm Guitar •
Tris fronts the band. He plays guitar and sings a bit. He has two custom Warmoth guitars ("because they're unique") and uses a Blackstar Series One 45 combo and Hardwire pedals to try and make himself sound better.

Ronnie
Lead Guitar •
Providing six-string dexterity that would otherwise be lacking from the band, Ronnie has seen it, done it, and wants to do it again! He favours Ibanez guitars, Line 6 amps, and Boss effects pedals.

Luke
Drums / Backing Vocals •
Luke crafts the beats that underpin the delicate (or not) guitar work laid out before him, as well as providing vocal harmonies. He uses an Alesis electronic kit. He is the tallest member of 'ton.

Rich
Bass •
Providing the perfect companion to Luke's drums, Rich creates basslines that you can't help but notice. He has a bass amp and a bass guitar. It has five strings.
