Radio Days ‎– Rave On! LP

RADIO DAYS are a powerpop trio hailing from Milan, Italy who have been on the scene since 2008, playing in their current line up since 2015. They are an ideal mix of Beatlesque melodies of the 60s and 70s punk energy, combining the sounds of early Elvis Costello, the RUBINOOS' vocal harmonies, the scratching determination of BIG STAR and the tailor-made suit of hooks and melodies of the KNACK.

Rave On! is the fourth LP and features 10 power-pop gems which show impressively the many musicalsouls of the band. Taking the Paul Collins' Beat and The PLIMSOULS experience as a starting point, the songs of the album take a metaphorical trip from the scratching 70's riffs ('I Got A Love') back to the beatlesque vibes ('Between the lines'), moving across the British pub-rock of the Costello legacy ('Till the end of the night') and through the 90's power-pop of TEENAGE FANCLUB and WEEZER ('Walk alone' and 'No one to blame'). This is a tribute to rock 'n' roll, an exciting journey on the Buddy Holly rollercoaster and the title is a homage to the 50's minstrels. It travels at high speed surfing the waves of the jingle jangle British invasion sound just to land on the 70's punk-rock territory ('Lose Control'). They also use the talents of a bunch of great international guests on the power-pop hymn 'What is Life?'; namely Paul Collins, Kurt Baker, The YUM YUMS and THE PSYCHOTIC YOUTH.

Rave On! is a must have album for all the power-pop'n' roll lovers, a thrilling yet melodic experience that will make you plead for MORE!
