Radical Dads announce debut album, play Rock Shop on April 9

Radical Dads are a Brooklyn based trio of non-fathers (there is also a girl in the band) who play abrasive, guitar based, sans bass post punk that makes us think of how Janes Addiction might have sounded if Perry Farrel had formed the band in DC rather than LA. At least, that’s what the embedded song "Recklessness" from their debut 7 inch makes us think of. The guys are obviously fans of the sound of the 90s, as B side "I Am the Father of Myself", besides explaining what kind of fathers these dudes are, references Sonic Youth’s droney noise-rock aural attacks. The band has just announced the release of their debut full length, out in mid June on Inhabitable Mansions. See them live at The Rock Shop on April 9.
