The success of Rhino’s 1998 Nuggets boxset justified a follow-up. The sequel covers the rest of the world since the first volume only chronicled the USA.
Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond, 1964–1969 emerged in 2001. It features music from countries such as Iceland, Uruguay, and Japan. I’m profiling and rating each of the 109 tracks, working backwards.
Track 83 – Come On by The Atlantics
From: Sydney, Australia
7
Credits
4/2. COME ON – The Atlantics (Australia)
(Peter Hood)
PERSONNEL/JIM ADDAMS (aka SKIATHITIS): vocals, guitar * THEO PENGLIS: guitar * BOSCO BOSONAC: bass * PETER HOOD: drums, vocals
Produced by J.R.A. PRODUCTIONS
Recorded in Pyrmont, Australia
Sunshine single #QK-1691 (1967) [Australia]
The Atlantics
The Atlantics started as a surf band. They formed in Sydney, and all of the members emigrated to Australia as children. They enjoyed success as a surf band, topping the charts with ‘Bombora’.
By 1965, surf music was passe, and the band reinvented itself. They added vocalist Johnny Rebb, a 1950s rock and roll star.
Come On
The Atlantics recorded ‘Come On’ in 1967. Written by drummer Peter Hood, the lyrics are a little teenybopper and dopey. But The Atlantics’ tough sound and virtuoso playing (for a garage band) transform it into something bigger. There’s a great guitar solo and instrumental breakdown. It’s similar in tone to many of the American garage bands from the first volume of Nuggets, but The Atlantics have better instrumental chops than most.
There’s an amazing dynamism to The Atlantics’ “Come On.” From the strong bass-riff intro onward, it builds through a sequence of distinct stages, adding and subtracting instruments, before tumbling into the raucous, shouted chorus. It all ends in an ear-splitting, fuzz-spitting guitar break.
Mike Stax, Nuggets II liner notes
The Aftermath
The Atlantics drifted apart in early 1970. Peter Hood operated a successful recording studio, while bassist Bosco Bosanac forged a successful career in country music. The band released a new album in 2023, which featured original members Bosco Bosanac and guitarist Jim Skiathitis.
‘Bombora’ is their most enduring song. It was added to the National Film and Sound Archive’s Sounds of Australia registry in 2013

Come On is really cool…nice sound but in 1967 I was expecting a little more trippy but I like this.
Bombora…oh yes I love surf music. The drums and bass are always exciting in those surf songs of that era.
I agree….they have more musical talent than most garage bands.
Yeah, it’s straitlaced for 1967 for sure, albeit surprisingly heavy in places.
Yep I was thinking that as well. It surprised me and I like it. I googled “under the radar” bands from the 60s a few weeks ago and they came up…they are one I didn’t look into…
I like the guitar work on it.
Yeah, the best bit I reckon. I saw peeople suggesting it’s a bit proto-metal.
