Hi all, I'm asking for a moment of your time to check out a new band from Corby called my first radio, their new free download single here:
this features strings tickled by their good friends Claire, and Mike Siddel of Hope of the States, Troubles and Lightspeed Champion fame.
Kettering and Corby based four piece My First Radio release "Progress" as free download on the GIITTV singles club. The track comes as a precursor to a full physical single released on Series 8 records later in the year.Bside "My Secret Plan" will only be avaliable to GIITTV zine users(sign up here) for the first month before being made freely avaliable to all there after.
In a live setting My First Radio combine the fragile atmospherics of Engineers, Mogwai and Redjetson with the mashed up effects pedal punk of Bloc Party and add the vocal kick in the nuts of Six By Seven and latter day Primal Scream. You could call it shoegazing with size twelves.
In this context "Progress" is somewhat disarming, catching you totally off guard with its wistful, emotionally charged vocals which ache over a gentle piano motif eventually rising to a searing vocoder soaked ephiphany. The bside "My Secret Plan" combines knowing vocal interplay with spiralling shoegaze fuzz that smacks you about the face and lets you know who’s in charge here...
