The Australian trio continue to build steam on each initial release

If you like your music explosive and high-octane, then look no further than Sydney-based alternative-rock trio RADICALS and their emphatic new single ‘falling faster slowly.

From the second it starts, the track provides an aural assault, packing the grit of grunge and the energy and fire of more contemporary alternative rock, RADICALS possess a sound that feels both familiar and engaging while also refreshingly new and dynamic. Everything from the track’s pounding drums to its exciting, deceptively catchy melodies feels vibrant and must-hear. This is the essence of acts like Puddle of Mudd and Seether but packing the energy of more contemporary artists like Royal Blood and Cleopatrick, a stellar offering from a blisteringly powerful outfit.

“The song is based around the feeling/experience of taking drugs,” commends Brandon. “We wrote the song while on drugs and thought it would be the perfect time to write and encapsulate what and how we were feeling. It was a wild experience and we’re stoked the song turned out the way it did.
