Tune in 9:15 am and meet Radio Fallout www.whoa100.com
In less than two years Radio Fallout went from being a brand new
alternative rock act in the vein of Weezer, the Toadies and Nirvana to
headlining festivals, signing publishing deals, touring the Midwest,
and playing the premier venues in the live music capital of the world,
Austin, Texas.
In the wake of the worldwide economic collapse at the end of 2008
Caleb Scates decided to quit his job in Cincinnati Ohio and drive
across country in a car leaking brake fluid and coolant to form an
alternative rock band in Austin, Texas. Weeks after the move Scates
met Jonathan Palmer and Dan Walker who migrated to Austin to pursue
music 2003. The trio rehearsed vigorously through the beginning of
2009 and played their first show at the end of April. The cooler fall
months saw the group set out to record their first collection of songs
at Wonderland Studios in south Austin. The Mondegreen EP was released
in March of 2010 and produced by Tim ‘Tank’ Casterline and Radio
Fallout. Immediately following the release of the EP Radio Fallout set
out on a 7 date tour of the midwest that included Cincinnati,
Indianapolis and Chicago. The warm reception of the Mondegreen EP lead
to a publishing deal with Los Angeles based K&W Publishing as well as
signing a booking deal with the Bandwidth Agency. They continued to
play shows through the summer and fall that included a headlining show
at Stubb’s and Toys for Tots charity drive in Houston, TX. In the
winter of 2010 the trio released a collection of acoustic songs
recorded in Scates’ Apartment in Austin. The ETC…EP was released
online and is available for free download from the bands website.
Radio Fallout managed to squeeze in 4 shows in Austin during SXSW 2011
before taking a break from touring to focus on their first full length
album. They began tracking in May of 2011 at 5th Street Studios. In
August Radio Fallout took a break from recording to Headline
Simmerfest II Summer Music Festival in Tahlequah Oklahoma. In October
they were invited to perform a showcase sponsored by the national
organization RAW Natural Born Artists, and a charity show to benefit
the Kyle no kill animal center at Texas State in San Marcos.
Radio Fallout wrapped up their studio work just in time for SXSW 2012
which they played 2 shows. Their debut album is scheduled for release
in September and the power trio plans on touring extensively to
promote the record.
