New Radio

Founded in 2006 by two teenage fakes at
the age of sweet sixteen the band starts its
career working on own songs inspired by
beloved acts like Slut, Smashing Pumpkins,
Silverchair, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure or
Muse. Soon Clemens on drums and
Sebastian on guitar and vocals find their lead
guitarist in Dominik, a close friend of
Sebastian since the first days of Primary
School. Finally, the lineup is completed by
Stefan on bass guitar, who made his way
from former Soviet Union to free Bavaria.
After the first rehearsals Clemens, without a
notice of the other members, applies the
group for the most important Munich band
contest „Sprungbrett“ indicating the city‘s
best act - with success. The four youngsters
reach the finals, are allowed to play the
„Theatron“ Summer Festival in front of a (...) Mehr anzeigenn
audience of 2000 people, do their first
recordings in a dark basement deep inside
the Olympique village. And taste blood.
Slowly, the untercooled atmosphere of the
songs grows, the raw guitar sound shall no
longer limit the energetic feeling. After a short
summer break in 2008 because of
Sebastian‘s graduation and journey round
Northern and Eastern Europe, the boys
integrate intense keyboard arrangements
which are live performed by their friend
Jacob. The result is the song cycle „Feels
like up and down“ with 11 tracks about pure
teenache moments captured in biographical
inspired lyrics. Finding a producer in Philipp
Kudelka, the three-track EP „Explicit New“ is
recorded in January 2009. For their restart
New Radio receive positive reactions from
little music mazines in the Internet to big
radio stations like Bayerischer Rundfunk.
Happily, they are invited to close the
phenomenal Süddeutsche Zeitung Tollwood
Festival - a crucial experience for the band,
playing their most sweaty and exhausting
concert ever to that second. Being „one of
Munich‘s most promising bands“, they are
ready for their first tour - losing undecided
Jacob on their way. In September 2009
NewRadio head for France to play 8
concerts for two and a half weeks all over
European‘s most beautiful country. In fact,
the concerts full of empathy become
unforgettable for the six friends. Clemens,
Dominik, Stef, Sebastian plus Miro as the
manager and Mow as a booker and
photographer find out how to work as a
team far away from home very fast. Sleeping
on somebody else‘s couch, writing a dizzy
tour diary for fans at home, making lovely
friends and playing their music for virginal
ears is breath-taking in every single way.
Well-rehearsed, with a bunch of pictures in
mind the entourage is welcomed back home
performing inside the antique city hall of
Munich. In autumn 2009, one month later,
NewRadio decides to get back to the studio.
Work starts on another two songs which are
not only guitar-driven but also utilizing
electronical style elements. Keep it coming -
for your sweetest supply of melancholy.
