Abstract

The Radar Brothers have been around since the mid-1990s, and after going through a lot of personnel changes, they now consist of founder Jim Putnam on vocals, guitar and keyboards, along with new members Be Hussey on bass and backing vocals, and Stevie Treichel on drums. Their sixth effort is being touted as their most lyrically direct set of songs, many of which came to life when the trio started to jell while touring the U.S. and Europe last year. Blog Critics recently called a preview track, "Horse Warriors," “a cross between the score to a Spaghetti Western and beard folk.”
