Description
Do you remember Radio London, Radio Caroline, and Swinging Radio England? Or have you heard the tales and legends of these upstart mavericks that introduced rock and roll radio to the United Kingdom and eventually brought down the very government that silenced them? These tenacious broadcast pioneers broke the BBC monopoly on music and culture, introducing The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who and countless other bands to British youth. Mostly originating from ships anchored in the North Sea the venture was as dangerous as it was exciting. The glory days only lasted a few short years. But the spirit lives on to this day through satellite radio, countless fan clubs and the power of the Internet.
GunStreetRadio shares the enthusiasm and vision of this unique era. The band has recorded and packaged a four song EP that begins with the power pop thunder of the single 'Radio Caroline' and ends with the majestic Hammond B4 strains of 'Jolene'. In between the listener learns to 'Love Love' and 'Hate Hate'. There are biting lyrics and soaring guitar solos as we all 'Die laughing' at the mess the modern world has gotten itself into.
You are invited to purchase and enjoy this record. You would also serve yourself well to discover the history that brought rock music to the masses. The web sites below are a good starting point for and endlessly enjoyable journey.
'Radio, Radio, Radio Caroline - I always listen for your heartbeat in the sky'.
