about

“a release chock full of edgy power-pop blasts. I’m partial to this track, snarling yet infectious.”- Twangville review

"It's easy to imagine the video for "New Radio" involving lots of dancing and smiling. Suffice to say it's feel good rock n' roll. In fact, the album feel a bit like a celebration of the topic, as it and its history is referenced throughout the album. "- quickcrit review

lyrics

I’VE BEEN A ROCK ‘N’ ROLL MAKER
WALKING MY WALK FOR A LONG, LONG TIME
THEY SAY THAT EVERYTHING COMES
THEN EVERYTHING GOES
THEN THEY PUSH YOU OUT

WE’RE THE ROCK N ROLL MAKERS
ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK
AND WALK THE LINE
IF YOU’RE A PRETTY YOUNG FACE
LOOKING FOR YOUR OWN PLACE
YOU COULD BE DOING TIME

RIP IT UP
DON’T FEAR
STRAIGHT AHEAD
I’LL STEER
BOOGIE DOWN
AND YOU’LL HEAR
I’M A ROCK ‘N’ ROLL MAKER
GONNA COME TO YOUR TOWN

THEY WERE THE ROCK N ROLL MAKERS
TALKING THEIR TALK IN A BRAND NEW LIGHT
THEY HAD THE WORLD IN AN UPROAR
MIXING THEIR COLORS FOR A BRAND NEW SHINE
IT WAS JOHNNY B. GOODE
WITH LUCILLE AT THE WHEEL
KEPT YA UP ALL NIGHT

RIP IT UP
DON’T FEAR
STRAIGHT AHEAD
MAMA I’LL STEER
BOOGIE DOWN
AND YOU’LL HEAR
I’M A ROCK ‘N’ ROLL MAKER GONNA COME TO YOUR TOWN

SO JUMP UP ON THE STAGE & LET IT GO (LET IT GO)
THIS IS THE NEW RADIO (RADIO)
AND YOU CAN’T HELP BUT START TO DANCE
CUZ THE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL’S
WHERE IT’S AT

A WASTE OF TIME, YOUR WRINKLED EYES
AND YOU’VE NOTHING LEFT TO SHOW
YOU DID YOUR BEST, YOU PASSED THE TEST
MAMA, I’M A ROCK N ROLL MAKER
COMING INTO MY SOUND
(GONNA COME TO YOUR-- TOWN)
