[engl] debut 45 by Jeff Burke (MARKED MEN, POTENTIAL JOHNS) & his new band! RADIOACTIVITY is the US-counterpart to his (former) japanese band THE NOVICE when he moved back to the US. Not unlike the before mentioned bands you get buzzsaw powerpop punk with the disctinctive singing & songwriting of Jeff. You need a definition of catchy? Any fan of the MARKED MEN and his songs will melt away the exclusive double A-Side Hits! On the B-Side there is a rather dark and rougher song, the expression of an odd anxiety and a state of helplessness about the earthquake/nuclear disaster after years of living in Japan is undoubted part of it. At ALIEN SNATCH! we crossed paths with the REDS and MARKED MEN in 2002 even before their debut album - but this is our first release more than a decade later. This 45 is therefore a very special record and it´s incredibly exciting to have them over in Europe at the end of the month. Accompanied by Mark Ryan and Daniel/Greg of BAD SPORTS turns this into a celebrity hideout. We literally run a bunch of miles in Austin to see their and and only show ast SXSW this year, it exceeded any expectation! So wherever you are, make the trip!
