Our Take
The Radiators From Space have been a staple in the Irish music scene since the 1970s, but their latest album, "Sound City Beatin," throws back to the British sound that influenced them. This record is a raucous party from start to finish, with infectious riffs and energetic vocals that will have you dancing all night long. From the opening track "Counting the Hours" to the closing notes of "Prison Bars," The Radiators From Space blend punk attitude with classic rock sensibilities, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. The guitars are loud and raw, the drums are thunderous, and the basslines are as groovy as ever. Lead singer Phil Chevron's vocals are a highlight of the album, ranging from sneering punk aggression to soulful balladry. His lyrics are sharp and witty, touching on themes of love, loss, and rebellion. The band's chemistry is undeniable, with each member contributing their own unique flair to the mix. "Sound City Beatin" is a must-listen for fans of classic rock and punk alike. It's a record that reminds us why we fell in love with music in the first place - for its ability to transport us to another time and place, and to make us feel alive. So crank up the volume, grab a cold one, and let The Radiators From Space take you on a journey through the sound city beat.

About the artist

The Radiators From Space

Oh, RADIATORS FROM SPACE, the Irish punk rock outfit that never quite got its due. Fronted by the enigmatic Steve Rapid, these lads burst onto the scene in the mid-70s with their raw, energetic sound that was equal parts rebellious and melodic. Drawing influences from the likes of The Clash and The Ramones, RADIATORS FROM SPACE quickly carved out their own niche in the punk rock landscape. With their debut album "TV Tube Heart" released in 1977, the band gained a cult following with their catchy hooks and politically charged lyrics. Tracks like "Enemies" and "Prisoner of Paradise" showcased Rapid's sharp songwriting skills and the band's knack for creating infectious punk anthems. Despite their undeniable talent, RADIATORS FROM SPACE never quite reached the commercial success of their peers. But that's what makes them so special – they were always a bit ahead of their time, pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. Now, with a resurgence of interest in punk rock and the DIY ethos of the 70s, RADIATORS FROM SPACE are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Their influence can be heard in the music of contemporary bands like IDLES and Fontaines D.C., proving that great music is timeless. So, if you're looking for a dose of rebellious punk rock with a dash of Irish charm, look no further than RADIATORS FROM SPACE. They may have been ahead of their time, but their music is as relevant and electrifying as ever. Cheers to you, lads.
