Radiation City was just featured on Into the Woods!
Lizzy Ellison (vocals/Wurlitzer) and Cameron Spies (guitar) started the group upon discovery of a mutual love for ’50s melodies and Brazilian jazz. With a solid foundation in these standards, Radiation City revise the codes of pop music to align with their contemporary interpretation of vintage sounds. On “Babies,” Cameron’s guitar murmurs a bossa nova pattern underneath Lizzy’s delicate piano crunch. The whole group sings harmony. Matt Rafferty plucks high-gain staccato bass notes intertwined with crisp electronic percussion, and Randy Bemrose’s drums advance from the initial placid brush flourishes to authoritative pounding as the instrumental cadence reaches a fevered peak.
