Episode 134: Radical Dads

I was super stoked to chat with the wonderful Radical Dads for Episode 134 of Look At My Records! This trio tore up Brooklyn in the 2010s - releasing three great albums and melting faces all over the place! Since the release of their 2015 album, Universal Coolers, they did some adult things like having kids (making them actual Radical Dads) and moving to different parts of the world. Guitarists Chris and Lindsay now live in Sweden and drummer Robbie lives in Santa Cruz, California, but they didn’t let the distance stop them from putting out their fourth album, Paved Mountain, last month! In our interview, we talked about how the band pieced together the songs on Paved Mountain, Lindsay’s obsession with Herman Melville, Chris’ NJ power-pop pedigree, and a whole lot more! This episode features records from The Stroppies, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Silver Jews, Eleanor Friedberger, Times New Viking, and The Smithereens!Get your copy of Paved Mountain on limited edition vinyl via Bandcamp. There, you’ll also find a TON of awesome merch! You can also stream it on your favorite streaming platform, including Spotify. Keep up with Radical Dads by liking them on Facebook and following them on both Instagram and Twitter.
