You know when you hear a band for the first time, and within the first 30 seconds of the first song, you know they have something special. You get excited, like your one of those crazy people who comb a beach for years with a metal detector and finally find your diamond. That is exactly how I felt upon discovering Beat Radio. For me, to even think of a band in the same brain wave as Yo La Tengo, or Wilco, really really says something. Not that I have some divine music knowledge, I just don’t throw out comparisons like that lightly. I guess what I’m trying to say in so many words (or maybe too many words) is that I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so excited about a band. Check out “Golden Age” below and really really check out the rest of the EP here
UPDATE: Download a free album of covers and instrumentals from Beat Radio here (featuring covers of Dylan, Yo La Tengo, and Best Coast)
