Radium88

It's like the surprise happy outcome of a deranged genetic experiment. Surreal sarcastic poetry barging into the presence of serene angelic choirgirl vocals while funky, skuzzy guitars mongrelise with hip hop and chemical beats. Hillbilly slide guitars get it on with gypsy violins and dub melodica. American white supremacists find themselves rapping over joyous african gospel music while J Edgar Hoover guests on groovy punky dub. It's like Interesting Dance Music. Only with Tunes! Pop Music. Only without custard for brains! It's smart, loud, aggressive, moody, mellow, bleak, beautiful, trippy and, above all, tuneful. It's deadly serious. And kinda funny. Variety. It's the spice of life. It's like No-Rules Football, only, y'know, like, Music. Radium88 surf the interstices of the postmodern world, sneering at musical genres and raising an eyebrow archly at niche markets and passing fashions. They are the lo-tek sound of tomorrow, the kitschmongers of doom. Call it SPACE HOP, call it TECHNO-NOIR, call it WEIRDO-HIP-TRIP-POP, call it RETRO-FUTURIST GENRE-SPLICE.
