Watch ‘Side Of The Road’ On Pure Volume!
Blending elements of ’60s psychedelic and garage, 70s art rock, and ’80s new wave and post-punk, Radar Eyes crafts a modern noise pop sound all their own. Guitarist/singers Anthony Cozzi, Nathan Lueking along with drummer Shelley Zawadzki – previously of noise punkers Night of the Hunter – formed the band in Chicago in late 2007 along with bassist Kenny Rasmussen, previously of No Funeral (though Luecking and Rasmussen have since left the band, replaced by guitarist Russ Calderwood and bassist Lucas Sikorski).
Their first release, a self-titled cassette EP, arrived March 2010 for Plustapes, followed later that year and the next fall, respectively, by a pair of singles on HoZac. Radar Eyes’ self-titled full-length was released on HoZac in February 2012. Alabama-based Happenin Records will be re-releasing their full-length on cassette in December 2013.
