See the music video for “My Place” by The Rad Trads at BTRtoday or the link above.

“Looking like they’re L-I-V-I-N at an Ikea no doubt took oodles of clever camerawork and a lot of effort outrunning suspicious store employees. We can’t imagine the Brooklyn quintet broke a sweat, though. The conservatory-trained instrumentalists who created the scruffy and lived-in groove underlying “My Place” can handle a little retail incognito.” – BTRtoday

About | The Rad Trads

The gentlemen comprising the Brooklyn-based five-piece The Rad Trads distinguish themselves in ways few bands can. Already drawing lines around the block at home, the globe-trotting group’s (they have performed on four continents and in 16 countries) singular take on rock n roll mixes punk rock energy, horn drenched soul, and jazz precision, all with a lighthearted but sincere delivery. It’s a sound and show that is gaining steam world over as The Rad Trads continue to tour in support of On Tap, out now from Hornblow Recordings. Listen to On Tap here.

Challenging but humorous, at times The Rad Trads bring to mind Springsteen and his “Big Man” Clarence Clemons, Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks-era vocal style, and Wilco’s epic guitar breakdowns. All of this sonic goodness is only upstaged by the fact that the guys in The Rad Trads manage to exist as five distinct songwriters and singers in a band that still sounds powerfully egoless, familial, and cohesive. And none of them even planned on being vocalists!

On Tap by The Rad Trads is out now from Hornblow Recordings. Members of The Rad Trads are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
