Artist History
The Band (and a slight history to radiate)
This project began in July of 2000. Just over 2 years in the making, "radiate" is a completely self produced masterwork, that has finally brought together all of the elements that were originally laid out when Warjunk began. Sonic variety, orchestral guitar textures, multi-layered vocals and very importantly, guest musicians and musical flavours where necessary. Strings, keyboards and female backing singers are just a few of the elements that make "radiate" a complete and fully realised Warjunk experience. Much in the way, or so the legend goes, that when making "Electric Ladyland", Jimi Hendrix would invite friends and acquaintances to the studio to jam, even going so far as to invite a conga playing cab driver in to lay down a groove, "radiate", was a place for musicians to leave their preconceptions at the door and just let fly. Key tracks include "Cross The World", with haunting, earth mother guest vocals by transplanted San Francisco artist Teresa Duke. "Broken", a spiritual relationship tale, not unlike a Rick Rubin produced Johnny Cash recording. "The Thing", a modern backbeat groover with an unbelievable crunch in the guitars and a pointed rap leading the way to a guitar journey home. And, finally a remake of the classic, swirling keyboard beauty of the Stranglers, "Golden Brown". Told thought the musical eyes of a beautiful guitar arrangement with a ballerina-esque slide guitar waltzing over the changes, this is truly a reinvention of this already flawless composition. The final track, "Thru The Ages", is a testament to the spirit of open jamming, ala Hendrix, which attracted guest musicians to the sessions.
Above all, "radiate" is an album. It is meant to flow the way a record did when we all got turned on to music in the first place. It also features the uncompromising vision of experimentation, much in the way that "Kid A", did when recorded and released by Radiohead. Some songs just become a record, and though over 60 songs were written during the sessions for "radiate" these 14 were chosen not only because we felt them to be strong, but also because these are the ones that felt like an album. So please sit back and enjoy, "radiate".
