The band have been together for over four years now and 'Talk Out Your Solution' is their third EP and shows this Woking-based band making brilliant progress. Blessed with a fresh distinctive style and oozing with confidence, Radiate rocks! As usual Steve Bradfield's passionate vocals leap out of the speakers and grab you by the throat. The solid rhythm section and Quest's adventurous guitar work add to the fiery, furious, pent up feel to songs like "Lose Your Self Control" and "Is It Ever Gonna Happen?". But then there is a gentler side to the band on the acoustic textures of "Forever" and "I Look To You" and yet it's still impossible to escape from the anthemic vocal lines and histrionic aspects of their music which make them stand out from the band next door. There's even an unannounced acoustic bonus track for you to enjoy. I love this and long to hear the band create an entire album of their unique creative, moving rock music.
