The inspiration for Radiation City’s newest output
stems from an old piano that has lived in drummer
Randy Bemrose’s basement for eons. It’s old,
cumbersome, and on its last legs. The band used
sounds from the piano throughout the recording of this
new EP … not just the keys, but the clicks and clacks
from the body, the slamming of the lid, and virtually
every other sound you can imagine making on a piano.
After they were finished, the piano was beat up, out
of tune, and falling apart. Having used the old piano
for all its worth, and in celebration of an intense year,
Radiation City engaged in the ceremonial destruction
of the old piano documented on the first single’s
video, “Find It Of Use.”
