Radar: Genre is Death

Today on Radar - I recently spoke with Genre is Death, an uncompromising noise duo made up of Ty Varesi (guitar, vox) and Tayler Lee (bass, vox). They moved to NYC in 2023 looking for something beyond what small town Georgia had to offer. They hit the ground running. A chance encounter with 80s underground stalwarts Live Skull pulled them into the city's noise scene and into orbit with Lydia Lunch and The Art Gray Noizz Quintet. In 2025 they toured with Gogol Bordello and shared stages with Bush Tetras and Jon Spencer. Their debut LP Attractive People is out this Friday on In the Red Records, recorded by Martin Bisi at BC Studio in Gowanus. We spoke about their beginnings, journey to New York and the making of Attractive People, Tune in. ICYDNK: Dylan Hundley is an artist and performer.
