The melodic hardcore group The Ataris was formed in 1994.
In late 1994, The Ataris formed as a band. They signed soon after, on January 15, 1996, to Kung Fu Records. In autumn of the same year, Anywhere But Here, their first LP was recorded. They released it on April 29, 1997. A year and a few months later, in June of 1998, they recorded Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits. In September of that year, they began recording Look Forward to Failure, their third album. It was released very soon after, on November 24 of 1998. Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits was released on April 13 of the following year, having been left unreleased until then. Almost a year to the day later, in April of 2000, the album Let It Burn was released. From June to July of 2000, the band recorded End Is Forever, and released it the following February.
Some months, on June 24 of 2002 after End Is Forever, The Ataris quit Kung Fu Records and signed with Columbia Records. That year, they recorded their most well-known album to date, So Long, Astoria. They released it March 4, 2003. It generated many successful singles for them, including In This Diary and their cover of Don Henley's The Boys Of Summer.
The Ataris will supposedly be releasing a new album in summer 2005.
