DEBUT ALBUM: "TO THE CITY, FROM THE SEA" available to download NOW (itunes, Amazon etc); and in all good record shops 30/11/09.

Buy the cd NOW from The Akoustik Anarkhy shop and get it posted to you straight away.

Alternatively, Piccadilly Records on Oldham St, Manchester have some advance copies for sale - where it's also a record of the week!

Reviews of "TO THE CITY, FROM THE SEA":

"A stunning debut album. It presents Beat The Radar as strident indie rockers with an ear for a big chorus and an eye for romantic detail". THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS

"None of their delighful live rawness is sacrificed on their debut album - 'Miracles' drips with rolling melody that wouldn't look out of place in the Stone Roses songbook, while Telephone Conversation' is reminiscent of early Cribs pepped up a few notches - making 'To The City, From The Sea' a punchy, promising debut". THE FLY

"To The City From The Sea is a sturdy ship of songs that should see them sail to much wider success. It is as fine a slice of good old-fashioned indie as you'll hear, and in a scene packed with angular synths and 80s influences, that makes a refreshing change."BBC.co.uk

"The steady but exciting beats and the low ebb of the travelling bass, line up magically with the thrust of the guitar and those understated but perfectly melodious vocals. I’m glad Beat The Radar snook over city’s borders – Manchester now has one of the most exciting prospects in the UK, blasting through the speakers of its music scene."MANCHESTERMUSIC.co.uk

"Other than the too-mannered jangles of the recent C86 revivalists, not many have tackled traditional indie lately.These Mancs do a superb job, imbuing their escapist reveries with passion, yet keeping bluster at bay thanks to Jonny Swift's mix of biting wit and the optimistic desire in his vocals.The music knows when best to go on the attack or focus wholly on the melodies. Trad, but forward-thinking too."CHANNEL 4 TELETEXT

"Brilliant songs, all more addictive than midget gems. If you like guitar pop, you’ll love To The City From The Sea." THEMUSICCRITIC.com

"To The City, From The Sea is a record of simple pleasures, three minute pop songs, and grand sing-along choruses. There are many bands struggling to make it into the big time with this type of music, but the reason Beat The Radar have gotten this far is because they do it better than anyone else." BEARDEDMAGAZINE.CO.UK

Picadilly Records

Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.

Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.

Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.

Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.
