The hardest working band in Australian music history.
1978 - Present
Fess left in 2013 after 35 yrs, not a bad stint.
Brendan Callinan only lasted 10 yrs, 1978-1988, most bands don't last that long.
Mark Lucas on Drums since 1989.
Brian and Geoff since 1978, wow that's a staggeriing 42 yrs.
Outstanding Aussie band with a wide range of songs and styles.
The critics can go and get well and truly fuck*d!!!!!

We just saw The Rads yesterday evening. I must admit that I had forgotten a lot of the singles. They played tho a lot like a Pub band from the 80s. A solid show with a good lead man. New guitarist ex Mentals, so he makes sense ;-)

[@daviddunright9186]

100% the greatest Oz band period, havent stopped gigging since '78.
Went and saw them 2 yrs ago in Emerald QLD only bout 80 people there and they kicked serious ass, even got to hang with them after the show for a coupla frothy chops,Mark is an absolute legend..Goin to see em in November

[@craignielson6605]

Yeah me too , I love The Rads

[@agm8763]

how about a hot lunch?

[@aldunlop4622]

I mustv'e seen the Rads 100 times in various places in Sydney in the early 80s. So original, so creative, and so talented, nothing like any other band. Incredibly fun to watch, Brian in his getups, Fess looking like a dork but fuck could he play effortlessly. Brilliant.

My favourite Radiators tune. I like the menacing keyboard-addled post-punk sound on this. Reminds me of UK music at the time.

[@davidduffin1580]

Can hear Gary Numan synth influence coming in.

[@killian001]

Radiators and Angels - most memorable times of my youth > just never knew how good we had it!

[@danthaman03]

I met these guys at Melbourne airport where I work and I found them very friendly and grounded.

One of the loneliest songs in all Pop.

[@ernestdavis3237]

One if THE quintessential rock bands in Aus.
Saw em so many times in the 80's.
