Australian jangle pop legends Ups and Downs are back with a brand new EP - their first new music for over 10 years! Radio Is Dead opens with the sing-a-long angst of the title track, which emerges from the static, hooks you in with a killer chorus and trips out in a psychedelic haze. Then it's straight into the shimmering groove of the single Out Of Thin Air, where the band conjure pure guitar pop with a summery melody and classic harmonies that appear suddenly and stay with you forever. This is Ups and Downs at their sparkling best! Elsewhere, Earth's Still Spinning is driving interstellar pop where the vocals trade hooks with massive power chords, Haunted House keeps it's secrets until it's violin-led crescendo, and the EP finishes with the life-affirming instrumental swirls of In My End Is My Beginning - a fitting tribute to Ups and Downs' 40 years in the business of making great guitar pop. And the front cover of the EP keeps the radio theme going, with a striking photo of the Atkinson brother's father, Geoff, a one-time popular radio announcer in the band's hometown of Brisbane. Tune in to Radio Is Dead - it will put a smile on your dial!
