Beat Radio: Safe Inside The Sound

Thanks to a chance encounter facilitated by the elbo.ws blog aggregator I first listened to New York band Beat Radio, now as an acknowledged fan of said same band, I was delighted to see that they are streaming their second EP on the blog cinema of sunshine (you're off-line for a few weeks and this happens... typical). Continuing on that upward curve this EP takes off from where in my mind where Elegy left us. The songs strike deep and anything that drops some Neil Young references (Memoir of a Lightening Bolt)  is all good with me. The distinctive sound remains (Hard Times For Dreamers) though and well worth a listen. Now let's hope Beat Radio get more of the credit the album richly deserves.
Below a demo version of their song Mexico with accompanying video. The gift of an on-line community.

Very quirky!

Welcome back you, hope you had a good breather.

Dude, the google ads on your blog are hilarious..."Neil Diamond Lyrics" makes sense but "Belly Dancing"?
