If you weren’t convinced by the songs I posted a few weeks ago in this interview you should listen to this latest one. Apparently the lyrics were taken from a work-in-progress novel that was being written by a friend who had passed away,( and It certainly feels haunting). The sound is bit of a departure from the more rock-oriented songs of earlier Beat Radio. Listen up.

I recently had an interview with Brian, in which we discussed his last record and the band and all sorts of fun stuff. They’ve just released another new single for 2010, and its pretty great. I’ve added an mp3 download below, but you should hit up their website for lyrics + more songs + flac downloads, etc.
“This is a song about getting your hopes up, and allowing yourself to dream of bigger things. My wife Liz called me out on something recently – I always play down my ambition, either with self-deprecating humor, or just a calculated lack of imagination. I make plans and get excited about things, but only to a certain point. If I don’t get my hopes up, I don’t allow myself the chance to fail. Under the guise of being realistic, I shelter myself from the possibility of disappointment. I know this sounds new age-y, but fuck it. The truth is I want big things for Beat Radio. Beat Radio is about ambition. This song is about laying it all on the line, and expecting everything in return. It’s about believing in your dreams.”
Beat Radio – Golden Age
Whenever I’m checking out a band’s myspace for the first time, I do two things, I press the play button, and I look at the hit counter. Now, I can’t really tell you just how surprised I was when the first song began to play. With a modest 91000 views, I thought It was probably a fluke, I was sure that only the first song would be good, and that the rest would be mediocre. Well, I was wrong, Every song was good. I immediately went to their website and downloaded their two newest releases. Both of them were fantastic. Could I really be one of the first people discovering this band? Of course not.
Well, I got the chance to chat with band leader and Long Island Native Brian Sendrowitz, and ask him what was going on.
