History

Jon Black founded Fort Atlantic in 2010 after the dissolution of an Athens, Georgia-based record label he owned and operated.[1] Black began recording songs on a home studio and worked with drummer Josh Cannon to realize them for live performances.[1] Fort Atlantic released three EPs in 2010-11, after which Black worked with producer Tom Schick on a full-length album.[2] In 2012, Fort Atlantic signed with Dualtone Records and released a self-titled LP.[3][4] The album reached #32 on the Billboard Heatseekers charts.[5] In addition to CD and digital formats, the album was also released as a Nintendo cartridge.[6][7] Songs from the self-titled album, "Fort Atlantic", featured in a season six episode of Californication and a season eight episode of How I Met Your Mother.[8] Following the release of the album, the band played the Bonnaroo Music Festival.[9]
