Following the local launch of the album, and strong sales on the internet, OffTheRadar’s Seen From Space hits the shops on Monday 18 July. To promote the album, the power pop trio are playing a special live set at Fopp music shop in West Street, Reading, on Sunday 17 July. The event kicks off at 1pm, and copies of the album will be available to buy at the shop. Variously described as "The Mother of all Pop Albums" and "36 minutes of power-pop-soul punching guitar sex!", Seen From Space has already had airplay all over Europe, from Holland to Serbia-Montenegro, and has had enthusiastic reviews closer to home. BAND BIOG Born from the phenomenon that was the Benson Garage Implosion, passion pop three piece OffTheRadar has been causing a stir since 2001, playing anywhere from house parties to outdoor festivals and picking up a loyal following along the way. The band's first promo CD was released in May 2002, and immediately created a buzz, with copies finding their way to people all over the UK, Europe and beyond, getting airplay first on Oxford's FusionFM, and then as far afield as the Student Broadcast Network in Germany, and Serbia-Montenegro national radio. The second CD, "Here It Is!" bagged the boys their first set of dates in New York City in 2003. The mini-tour was such a success that OTR went back in April 2004 for more, playing to enthusiastic audiences and making loads of new friends along the way. One of the tracks from "Here It Is!" found its way on to Abuse Your Friends #4 from legendary underground label Velocity Recordings last year. Variously described as "an absolute stormer" and "The Mother of All Pop Albums", Seen From Space has already attracted a lot of attention from local press and radio. The boys will play some UK gigs through the summer to promote the album, before heading back to New York in September, and Italy in November. |
