0Gig review: Radkey
★★★★★
Punk band Radkey consists of three brothers from the US, who boldly state that they are “on a quest to save the world from false rock”. [Radkey Official]
The Sebright Arms in Bethnal Green was hosting the NME Awards show, highlighting up-and-coming bands. One of these was punk band Radkey, consisting of three brothers from the US, who boldly state that they are “on a quest to save the world from false rock.”
Although I have a hip hop head I do have a soft spot for rock, and the brothers have created their own world where punk rock reigns supreme. This world is not for the faint-hearted, as Radkey play music for those who are willing to get their minds blown, as well as their eardrums.
Infectious atmosphere
The safety of my ears was the last thing on my mind when the drums and the guitars were blaring to the maximum.
After my first pint, the tiny room was filled with an infectious atmosphere that made me forget that I was completely by myself, as the formerly unfriendly faces become embodiments of total togetherness.
Only time will tell if the Radkey brothers will fulfil their quest of saving rock, but judging from that night, they’re off to a good start.
