The Radar Bros. are a band based out of Southern California currently consisting of Jim Putnam, Stevie Treichel, Be Hussey, Dan Iead, and Brian Cleary. Hussey was in the band Morsel, Iead was in another Merge band, The Broken West while Treichel and Cleary were in a fellow Silver Lake band, The Movies.
Until early 2008, its members were Putnam, Jeff Palmer, Senon Williams (now with Dengue Fever), and Steve Goodfriend. The Radar Brothers (now with the name spelled out) are currently signed with Merge Records in the United States and Chemikal Underground in the UK and Europe.
The band has released six full length records: Radar Bros (1996), The Singing Hatchet (1999), And The Surrounding Mountains (2002), The Fallen Leaf Pages (2005), Auditorium (2008) and The Illustrated Garden (2010).

Christ I love these guys so much! I had no idea there was a new album: I was just visiting their page on allmusic basically to see whether they've split-up (a constant fear seems they're so tragically under-appreciated), and instead I found that Auditorium had been released just a couple of days ago... and it's utterly fantastic! On Nautilus and Lake Life are such stupendously good songs.

Just discovered that band with their latest album Auditorium, which is simply brilliant. Now I have to buy more of these guys. It's a shame so many great bands are unnoticed :/
