How do you explain AM Radio? They forge ahead with signature streams of infectious pop one minute, only to confound the ear with bristling chunks of righteous rock the next.
If you’re lucky enough to hear a snippet of their much-touted Elektra debut, Radioactive, you’ll find the southern California fivesome has struck just the right balance to this inspired blend—and no wonder. Fronted by effusive singer/songwriter Kevin Ridel, AM Radio first earned their seal of approval from none other than Weezer founder Rivers Cuomo.
Ridel and Cuomo have been friends since their heady Connecticut days (Vernon CT, to be precise, about a half hour from Hartford), manning a band they had ballz enough to call Avant Garde. Ridel has formed his share of rock bands since, with the industrious Cuomo serving as his …1 fan. But it wasn’t until the summer of 2001, when Cuomo came to the rescue of Ridel’s most recent group, Peel, the precursor of AM Radio, that the music world began to notice Ridel’s considerable talents. “Peel recorded an album for Beyond Records which never came out,” says Ridel. “Rivers saw we were frustrated and helped us get out of our contract. He offered to manage us and get us in front of the people who could do us some good.
