The Tragic Radicals

Year of the Radical

(Savage Magic Records)



Adventuresome instrumentals, rendered starkly by electric guitar and drums. Much respect is due musicians who contrive song architecture with plenteous intellectual investment. The stylistic compound here is a construct unto itself, numbering among constituents Garage, Surf, Grunge, and Prog (that last being something the present writer generally turns from, though in this instance, it intrigues). Songs are best appreciated in their entireties; disparate tempos, shadings, and ambitions flicker mischievously, only to transmogrify into things unanticipated. Listeners may well wonder where songs will ultimately wind up - the answer can only be learned through experience.

Recommended: "Fuckin' Weirdos," "POTUS Redding," "The Madman," "Mayday!," "P.S.," "Rabiessquirrels," "Romanian Noodles," "Rinse & Repeat," "Welcome To Dyownsville"

Video: "Fuckin' Weirdos" (live)  "Madman" (live)   "Mayday!" (live)
