RAD Newsletter

A “Nightmare Weekend” is a term occasionally used by those in the music industry to describe a weekend with way too many shows. Honestly, I think it’s sick. It shows how well a scene is doing imo. This Friday(the 13th) we’ve got an especially fun one. Canadian metalcore twins, Opal In Sky, are touring the states for the very first time and are hitting Summer Fox Tower with Villain of the Story, Young Medicine and Cloud Construction!! Get tickets while you can NOW!

RAD FRIENDS RELEASE

Some of our favorite Orange County post hardcore dudes, Takers Leavers, are BACK with their new single “Paradise”! Listen to it NOW. FFO: Loathe, True North, Avoid.

New Music Recommendations

Garage Rock is so back bb. “Debauched and danceable” LA Garage Rockers, Alexsucks, have dropped their newest record Autopilot. I mean, this album cover alone looks like it’s from the late 90s early 2000s. Give it a spin. FFO: Junior Varsity, MOTO BANDIT, Together Pangea.
