It all happened during the cold summer of 2007 in
Malmö, Sweden. In the best candystore of central Malmö
called "Banana Nana", Doctor Disco, Henrik, Mattias
and Erik got into a heavy fight over the last
pineapple gum in the whole shop.The fight got into a severe battle with blood, cut up
eyebrows, ballbusting and some pretty harsh words.
The store owners could do nothing but call the police
who showed up a couple of minutes later when the whole
"Banana Nana" was fully demolished.These 4 gumcraving youths were taken to custody where
they had to spent their next 24 hours in the same
prison cell. During those 24 hours the 4 bubbelgum
dudes got into deep conversations about life and
what's important in it. They found out that all of
them had the same main interests which are:
1. Chewing Bubbelgums
2. Listening to Bubbelgum punk
3. Playing Bubbelgum Punk
4. Get in touch with Bubbelgum girls with pink hairThe atmosphere got almost religious, it was one of
those "Hallelujah"-moments of life. In a couple of
hours these hardened crooks turned soft and said ,with
sobbing voices but still ecstatic, at the same time:
"This is meant to be, it can't be a coincidence". They
agreed on starting a band together, drop the charges
at each other and pay "Banana Nana" for the damage.7 days later they started to rehearse and write songs
which are fast and catchy in 2 minutes and 3 chords.
It's easy, it's fun, and no problems to sing along to.
The tunes stick to your brain instantly whether you
like it or not. The songs remind you of oversweetened
Bulgarian bubbelgums and neon coloured cancerogenic
Mexican soda pops.Main inspirations to Cardio Radio are Sultans Of Ping
FC, Ramones, Blondie and Buzzcocks. Going through the
catalyser of 4 distorted individuals with strong
cheekbones, bad teeth and fresh breaths, the style is
best described as Bubbelgumpunk.STICK TO YOUR GUMS!!!
