Radical

Story Behind The Song

I had the lyrics to this song beating around for awhile in my head (when I was in Philadelphia). Usually a girl I was dating (or her friends) would say...you seem a little too radical...then the chords came along. When we recorded this demo...We laid down the tracks on 4 track. Then Shonn came over and added his ripping lead work.

Lyrics

RADICAL

Radical deviation
Radical deviation

Radical me and radical you
Radical things, anti-social things we all do
Radical cars, and radical bars
Radical ends and radical starts
Radical music and radical art

Just cause your're a radical
doesn't mean you've got evil in your heart.

Radical...proceeding form a foundation or root:
drastic, making extreme changes in views, conditions
or habits.
Radical

I've never heard a song quite like this before. The songwriter hits on a totally original title/concept: being radical. With soaring electric guitars and gritty organic vocals, the singer definitely gets his point across. Atmospherically dark, but not depressing.

Really well done!! Very RADICAL, in a really good way! I love the texture of the sound, and the chaotic feel! Very well played, sung and produced! GREAT job!!

Really cool sound. Reminds you a little of the Doors, especially at the start. Really good guitar work.

This has the kind of low-fi grunged up sound that could make it usable in a lot of film or TV situations.

I like the driving beat and the lead guitar really has a great sound, I would say it's radical but you already know that - sounds a little like the CARS.

An interesting lyrical composition. The constant drum beat reminds me of Jesus and Mary Chain

Love the intro with the beat and some great guitar, a real edgy feel. The vocals took me by surprise had a very punk like sound. Some big reverb across this track but works well with the lead guitar curing through the mix. I really enjoyed this feels different, unique but retains good melody and musicality
