About Me



rumours and innuendo: "Call it post-rock if you will, but Radiant City are leagues ahead of the hordes of dullards currently swooning under that ugly tag. And Terminal Drift is ample proof." (Mess & Noise) "Terminal the album (ep) certainly is not; if it drifts, it's doing so with attitude and precision." (Beat) "Radiant City (the ep) sounds both intimate and huge. It showcases a band with an innate sense of dynamics and melody" (Mess & Noise) "An aural atmosphere that ebbs and flows with climatic intensity." (Beat) "An atmospheric but often noisy affair that's informed by NYC avant-garde guitar noodlings and a touch of jazz and warped blues." (Rip It Up) "A sonic cavalcade of strangely distressing beauty. A group in control of their craft" (Sensis) "Cinematic. In the hands of Radiant City it means texture all at once while quietly meandering down an industrial back-alley (Thomas Mass) watching the hoodie-clad thug at the end of the next warehouse, then beating the crap out of him, stealing his cash, running off, finding the nearest pub, slapping a big wad down on the bar and saying 'so, where are you from?' (Trans-suburban) to the girl next to you, picking her up, waking up the next morning, making breakfast, settling down (Slow Point), relationship problems (Jack's Idea of Cool) on your own again (The Machine), and then all over again (Epic). Sounds like the best movie ever, right?" (Beat)
