Irradio

Irradio rocks, that is all you need to know. Check them out now or regret it forever. The following is an e-mail interview done mostly with Collin (drummer).

Joel: Briefly describe your music? Irradio: Our music is a diverse blend of different textures and emotions. We all come from different musical and cultural backgrounds, and we each bring a piece of that to the table. Joel: Why should people listen to your band? Irradio: We are the best up-and-coming band in San Diego. Period. We are different than the natural progression of rock that every band seems to emulate so well.

Joel: How long has Irradio been a band?
Irradio: Three years.

Joel: Where did you get your name from?
Irradio: One of the first rock stations in the late 50's to come out of Zapotlan, Jalisco (Mexico) was called Irradio.

Joel: What makes Irradio different from every other band out there?
Irradio: Our music is original. All musicians are products of their influences, but rather than regurgitate what has already been done, we take it one step further and pick up where others have left off. Also, just look at us . . . We don’t portray any titles or ideas of the masses; we represent regular people making music.

Joel: Is there any message you try to get across through your music?
Irradio: Don’t get programmed, live for now and believe in yourself!

Joel: Do you have a single song that has a special meaning to you?
Irradio: "Make This End.” It deals with all of the inconsistencies in life that we let control us.

Joel: What bands, people, books, etc have had the biggest influence on your band? Irradio: Bob Marley, The Pixies, Fugazi, Oscar Wilde’s Pictures of Dorean Gray, and all of the writings of Stephen Jay Gould.
