Italy’s Radio Days Release New Album ‘Rave On!’

Radio Days are a powerpop trio hailing from Milan, Italy who have been on the scene since 2008, playing in their current stable line up since 2015. They are an ideal mix of Beatlesque melodies of the 60s that’s combined with 70s punk energy; combining the sounds of early Elvis Costello, The Rubinoos‘ vocal harmonies, Big Stars‘ scratching determination and The Knacks‘ power pop melodies.

Rave On! is the fourth LP and features twelve power-pop gems that translate to music the many souls of the band. Taking Paul Collins’ Beat and The Knack experience as a starting point, the songs of the album take a metaphoric trip from the scratching 70s 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 90s power-pop of Teenage Fanclub and Weezer (Walk Alone and No One To Blame).

Rave On! is a tribute to rock ‘n roll, an exciting journey on the Buddy Holly rollercoaster and the title is homage to the 50s minstrel. It travels at high speed surfing the waves of the jingle jangle British invasion and lend on the 70s  punk-rock territory (Lose Control). They also utilise the talent 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 now available on CD, vinyl and digital formats via Bandcamp
