They’re righteous. They’re rocking. They’re mighty Brooklyn three-piece Radical Dads, and they’re our latest Bushwick Music Crush! Last week, when Radical Dads played Glasslands Gallery, they nearly tore the roof off the place– and we were there! Read on for set highlights, photos, and Spotify playlist on the topic of this raddest of local bands, Radical Dads.
In a sharp departure from the shoegaze-y noise of their first LP, 2011’s Mega Rama, Radical Dads’ latest record is all clashing, stomping, energetic good times. With Rapid Reality, their newest LP, expect crunchy guitars, full displays of dizzying distortion, and bold, floor-shaking beats. While dual guitarists Chris Diken and rocking lady Lindsay Baker duke it out amongst themselves, Robbie Guertin (formerly of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! esteem) simply pulverizes on the drums; as a spectator, you worry that he might just bounce right up and out of his seat (which at Glasslands, of course, could be dangerous).
