Oh yeah! Radio Days is a power pop and rock band out of Italy that has just released their new EP called "Midnight Cemetery Rendezvous". This is one of the best garage pop rock releases I've heard since Eugene Edwards.
There is a raw energy that comes through in each of these 6 awesome tracks of pop rock bliss. These guys know what they are doing. They've pulled off the neat trick of writing irresistible bubblegum pop, yet playing it with such an edgy and gritty urgency that you'd never know that these melodies permeate the syrupy pop of the 50s and 60s (think the Ramones or Weezer). It is downright brilliant. Dario Persi has the perfect pipes to carry tunes like this - he and his band should be on the radio...every day. Fans of Eugene Edwards, The Singles, and Red Button take note and get to the cemetery by midnight.
It is impossible to pick a favorite because there are only 6 tracks on this EP and each one is perfect. In a word, fantastico!
iPOD-worthy: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (all tracks!)
