Bio
.. Teenage kicks, so hard to beat.... thanks to everyone who helped us! .... ..BIO..: ..Long time friends Nick Risler and Ben Goldstein formed Radical Sons in 2008 while attending high school in their hometown of St. Louis. After getting friends to fill out the rhythm section the boys spent the next year playing shows around St. Louis before moving to New York City in 2009. Radical Sons released a five song EP on St. Ives, a subsidiary label of indie powerhouse Secretly Canadian Records. The band subsequently received attention from media outlets such as Pitchfork and The Tripwire as well as the Riverfront Time's Critics Choice award for "Best Garage Band". Some of the bands Radical Sons played with include; The Strokes side project Little Joy, Girls, Surfer Blood, Turbo Fruits, Jeff The Brotherhood, Someone Still Love You Boris Yeltsin, and many more. .. The Radical Sons broke up in July 2010. .. Stay tuned for new projects from the band members. .. .. ..CONTACT: .. .. TheRadicalSons@gmail.com

..Press:.. .. .. "...rootsy swagger'" .. .. -.. Pitchfork Media .. .. .. "They’re barely legal, but Radical Sons are no garage band rookie-hopefuls…The band’s sound is already full..." .. - .. The Tripwire.. .. .. "You would have to dig deep into the musical catalogue of recent years to find a young band displaying such obvious talent as casually and coolly as these kids…they will take over your stereo for weeks to come." .. - .. Lodown Magazine.. .. .. .. "Radical Sons may have received the St. Louis scene's equivalent of Beatlemaniac hysteria... but they sound as loose as a 1979 CBGB soundcheck, bruised as skateboard punks kicked off the plaza. Radical Sons sound as promising and urgent as the young rock & rollers we can only hope they'll always remain." .. - .. Riverfront Times.. .. ..
