Transistor Rodeo:
"Truck & A Radio"
A long awaited and much anticipated new release by Transistor Rodeo.... marks a new approach...sets the songs on a bare bones,
primitive palette; no elaborate arrangements, soloists,
backing vocals or instrumentation. The pure sound of guitar, bass & drums leave only the heart of rock &
roll to fuel the material, letting the songs stand on their own merit. This also allows the band to give the audience
a true reflection of a live performance.... unique in the band's catalog of releases, inspired by
BUDDY HOLLY and THE CLASH bringing
simplicity to the material.
