RAD Newsletter

Oops…missed ya yesterday. I’m still recovering from two fests in one weekend(Mathcore Index Fest and Sound & Fury), but we back with more music and shows. There are so many new records to catch up on and so many shows to hang at. So keep scrolling for more info

RAD ALUMNI RELEASE

Fresno was graced with this four way split EP “Hometown,” from our friends in Unlikely, Mindless Society, Lavish Youth and Knuckleball! The compilation features two tracks from each band and showcases the wide range of Indie Rock, Pop Punk and Emo coming out of the Central Valley. You gotta give it a listen.

New Music Recommendations

SHADES have brought some of the darkest bass music into the light with their latest EP The Lower World. This record had been described as “the pinnacle of sound design and arrangement” by fans and I couldn’t agree more. Bass music pioneers Alix Perez and Eprom have proven yet again that they are one of the most unique artists out of London, let alone the Bass world as a whole. Listen and fall down the rabbit hole. FFO: G Jones, Tsuruda, Caspa, Ivy Lab, Yheti.
