L7
will be joining RZA’s alter-ego Bobby Digital as player
models for Atomic Pop’s Panic I. The Dr. Atomic vs. the Hitmen
and Panic II: Hostile Takeover games, which are modifications
of the networked games Quake II and Unreal, respectively. The
player models of the four brash female rockers will be available
for download at www.atomicpop.com in conjunction with the online
release of their new single for Atomic Pop, "Freeway"/"Mantra
Down" next week. Atomic Pop’s two futuristic games pit players
against a hostile alien race who have invaded the Earth in the
form of a giant music industry conglomerate. A third game, Panic
III: The Big Shakedown, is also in the works. The games are part
of the new online company’s effort to be more than just a traditional
record label in promoting and marketing its music. The site also
includes the streaming video of AtomicTV and the special edition
Atomic Comix.
