THE RADICS

Excess follows success but we tried it in reverse

About Me

From Southampton’s fractured estates trapped in grey and on the borders of society, four young buzz hungry troubadours have fallen from the production line, fused together and set out. Bound by wit, amphetamine nights and a rebellious petty criminality, they’ve traded street corners for the stage and become The Radics. With a brash British sound, endless energy and songs destined to be classics it wont be long before The Radics reach the ears of the masses…
"The Radics look like following in the footsteps of a long line of celebrated Southampton bands who have made it big on the UK's subterranean indie music circuit" Southampton Daily Echo
"Their music ranges from melodic pop songs with a working class twist to poetic songs which dissect the fundamental failings with modern society" Southampton Daily Echo
"The Radics have filled a void in the local music scene and given the kids from the most deprived areas something they can relate to," but the band is confident that their music also has wider appeal" Southampton Daily Echo
"Excellent musicianship - Quality lyrics . This band has an honesty that is refreshing in today's music meat marketplace" Mixposure.com
"This kind of music is needed today to stem the tide of message less machined music that is permeating the earth. If they keep turning out lyrics like thes e - the better part of the world will catch up and catch on. Very enjoyable and engaging work" Mixposure.com
"The singer is very cool... hey everything is very cool. I think the world couldgo down and this band would go on and on as if nothing had happened.... " Mixposure.com
