We're influenced by life in general.

"My First Radio combine the fragile atmospherics of Engineers, Mogwai and Redjetson with the mashed up effects pedal punk of Bloc Party and add the vocal kick in the nuts of Six By Seven and latter day Primal Scream. Shoegazing with size twelves." - God Is In The TV GIITTV Live Review
"[My First Radio] launch you skywards on a rocket co piloted by Muse and Slowdive and fuelled by lashings of spiralling guitars... spacey, shoe gaze majesty..." - hearthefuture.org.uk
"...fast moving indie band." - The Guardian
"I Am Echo: If the producers of Planet Earth are listening – we’ve found your next theme tune. Forget those Scandinavian rockers – what you want is some home-grown talent in the form of My First Radio. It’s every bit as anthemic which is why it’s our release of the week." - BBC Weekender
"Tracks like “Prayers Over Static” and “Strangers” establish My First Radio as a beacon of hope in the oversaturated and increasingly dull indie scene. What they do with their music puts them in a league of their own..." - whatchumagenre.wordpress.com

Hey My First Radio - stay smart, stay warm and stay relaxed. The older I get the more sure I am that defiance is the only way. Wales' premier noise-mongers say hi and love to you all. D x (Defiance Of God)
just a quick message to say, loving the new tracks - the lyrics to call to arms where my favourite yet. Shall hopefully be at the Roadmender gig if not locked up in a studio somewhere myself. good luck at the brummie gig! jon
