Radar - self titled


Nearly four years after its debut EP, New York City punk rock band Radar releases its first full-length record on Dead Broke Rekerds. Radar — a band which features members of Meltaways, Adult Magic, Giant Peach, and Back-up Plan — plays rockin' poppy punk with a distinctive NYC flavor. That's a sound that it timeless to me, and the band's self-titled long player is a ripping great time. Only three of the 12 tracks exceed two minutes in length, and from start to finish, this record is an energetic, upbeat, and hooky affair. This is one of those albums that just seems to fly by. You get to the end and can't believe it's already over. So you just push play and start it over! If you like pop-punk with a fun attitude and some real guts to it, Radar is the band for you. I hope music like this never dies!
