Non Radio Friendly - "Bury This Broken Heart"

When I first got this CD I really thought it was going to be a Ramones-core pop punk band. What I got instead is one of the most original sounding CD’s I’ve heard in at least 10 years, if not more. Non Radio Friendly shows influences from every sub-genre of punk and mixes them all very well to make one hell of a musical cocktail! Each song sounds a little different from the last and the closest comparison I can think of are a mix of J-church, Jawbreaker & The Descendents. The comparison is solely to give you an idea of their sound, but also doesn’t give Non Radio Friendly enough credit for making their own unique sound. There is ton’s of passion and energy put into each song with lyrics deep enough that you have to listen a few times before you can fully appreciate them. Needless to say I really enjoy this CD and believe that any fan of punk regardless of the sub-genre label you’re into will really like Non Radio Friendly.

Dallas Observer (Jonanna Widner, July 5, 2007)

Non Radio Friendly - Bury This Broken Heart

This DFW trio clearly digs old-school pop punk. Singer Chad Riley’s vocals are, well, fun, his voice a punchy mid-range homage to everyone from Elvis Costello to Joe Jackson (yeah, there’s definitely an ’80s British vibe going on here). The songs are fun too, all sing-along choruses and simple but hooky guitar lines and pogo-friendly drums. This is a joyous crew, but with a distorto-ska edge.

Black Orchids Manor (Angie Canales, August 2007)

Non Radio Friendly’s catchy beats and punk sound leave you feeling good and wanting more. This local Dallas band is newly-formed having only been together about 6 months. Although the band is still in its infancy, they have a well developed sound that stays true to the traditional punk genre.

The band’s three members, Chad Riley, Rob Johnson, and Mark Hammill, have very different and distinct personalities and musical influences. Such different personalities could easily lead to disharmony in a band, but this isn’t the case with Non Radio Friendly. Each band member contributes their individual musical strengths and the end result is fun Punk-Pop fusion.

Chad Riley, the lead singer and guitarist, is the business-minded member of the band. He has a clean, smooth voice that he puts to good use on stage. Riley is predominately responsible for Non Radio Friendly’s songwriting.

Rob Johnson, bassist, is Non Radio Friendly’s resident joker. His great sense of humor and easygoing personality are definitely assets to the band. He’ll keep you laughing and his bass line will keep your foot tapping.

Mark Hammill, the drummer, has the most stage experience in the band despite being the youngest member. His personality type is that of a quiet intellectual. Hammill seems to have an innate musical ability; he admittedly doesn’t practice much, but he still churns out a polished sound.

Non Radio Friendly offers a great sound and fun performance, but they’re not just another band; they’re philanthropists. When Lance Hahn of punk band J-Church fell ill to a kidney disease, Chad Riley immediately began work on a benefit CD. "We take care of our own," Riley states. Let’s Do It For Lance! will be available in Hot Topic stores and all proceeds go to Lance Hahn to help him with his medical treatments. This compilation CD features about 5 local bands covering J-Church songs.

Non Radio Friendly’s eleven-song debut album, Bury This Broken Heart, is available for purchase through the band’s MySpace page. Their performance schedule is also posted on MySpace as well as detailed information about all the band members and their musical influences. Above all else, this band will keep you entertained. Make sure you catch their next live show.I>

About the Band!
==============================================

Raised on the Late 80’s, to early 90’s Punk, it shaped the song writing of singer Chad Riley’s music. After playing in several bands, Chad decided to take a break from music. Only to return to writing once again, after suffering heart ache, and loss. It brought a new edge to his arsenal. What used to be songs of having fun, and being stupid, were replaced with songs about bad relationships, and losing the love of your life. Some truly dark songs, and edgy lyrics, put to catchy and poppy music.

Rob met Chad while he was searching for a Bassist on his new Project. Rob was looking for a good band, that he could unleash his writing capabilties on. When the two met, they knew it was a fit. Both of there styles meshed, and both were into Punk Music. Rob fused funk, and jazz, to poppy riffs to help create an original sound. After playing with a couple of drummers, they nabbed a show, and a shot at a Battle of the Bands. Only to be set back, by a drummer that decided he didn’t like Punk Music.

A few days later, Rob found a drummer, who was into Punk. Mark came over to meet Chad and Rob, and quickly decided, this was the band for him. Three days later, and only two practices, they took to the stage at Darkside Lounge, after an invitation from Bryan the Booking Agent. A week later, they went into the Studio, and recorded there first albulm. Three individuals, who had one purpose in mind. To make good music, and do what they love. Now you know the story, and it’s still being written at this point. So come out to the shows, and experience Non Radio Friendly. You’ll be glad you did.

Este video fue grabado en el local número 2 de Gravity Music. A 28 de marzo de 2008, en Málaga, España. A pesar del cansancio general, grabamos esta potente canción de los comienzo del grupo. Manolo estaba medio sedado, por un fortísimo dolor de muelas que le impidió dormir la noche anterior a la grabación, tan solo descansó 2 horas, se fue a currar y luego al ensayo. Nico hizo lo mismo, tras un reportaje fotográfico en el centro social de calle Ollerías a escasos minutos del comienzo de nuestro ensayo y Ferri tras una larga jornada laboral, aderezada por un curso en el PTA, de cara a futuros programas que seguramente lo ententendrán bastantes ratos frente al "ordeñador" de la empresa.


"Todos nos sobrepusimos como pudimos y nos dejaron nuestras respectivas empresas, es decir hechos polvo. Así que nos salió una rabiosa y salvaje -Estoy harto.... De trabajaaaaar".





Échale un vistazo a este vídeo: Estoy harto
