BEAT THE RADAR TRACK OF THE DAY IN CLASH


Bouncy Manchester foursome Beat The Radar are new to Clash, but on the basis of this song ‘Telephone Conversation’, we’re guessing the single won’t be the last we hear of them.


Released via aA Recordings, ‘Telephone Conversation’ will be in stores on June 1. Featuring hooks the size of World War II bombers, and melodies so sparkling that over-exposure is sure to lead to blindness of the ears – deafness, then – it’s a great introduction to a band brimming with crossover potential. Think along the lines of The Cribs and you’re getting there.

Says guitarist Laurie of their intentions: “We just want to write great pop music and get it across to as many people as possible. We're bringing back the big, anthemic chorus.”

Stream one of those choruses above, and see the band (MySpace) live as follows…

6 Manchester Piccadilly Gardens Hotel
12 Manchester Deaf Institute
