The guys have known each other forever; it's rumored they are childhood friends. It's also rumored that they once lived in Magdeburg. However, the five have long been an integral part of the Kreuzberg street scene. Whether on stage or at the bar, always present, always there. This is where punk rock is lived!
The 18 songs reflect this. Honest punk rock, with a strong English street punk influence. Memories of The Clash come to mind, but also of current bands like Frontkick, with whom the band is good friends. RADIO DEAD ONES play a kind of punk rock that I would like to call "Kreuzberg Street Punk." Raw and from the streets, but always likable and right in the midst of life. The lyrics prove this as well. They hit the heart. The band is punk! This is absolutely made clear with songs like "Your Ruin" or "New Religion." With lines like "Your ruin is the routine. That’s your daily ruination," the band conveys so much in just a few words. I could write forever about these two lines alone. In other words, what more can be said? Accurate, honest, and certainly painful for some people. But it’s true, and that should become clear! The lyrics are delivered in a raw, whiskey-soaked voice, giving the songs exactly the hardness they need.
With their debut, RADIO DEAD ONES have presented a great album that reflects the band's experience and explains their popularity. A big "Keep it up!!"
