Radioactivity - Time Won't Bring Me Down - Music & Performance - Vinyl

Jeff Burke and Radioactivity are back! Recorded over a long period of time and released ten full years (!) after their last album (Silent Kill, 2015), here is the eagerly awaited third!Nobody was really worried about Radioactivity dropping the ball after all this time. Jeff Burke's track record (The Marked Men, The Reds, The Potential Johns, Lost Balloons, etc etc) speaks for itself, and has for over twenty-five years at this point. It's no exaggeration at all to say that Burke's songwriting voice is one of the most distinctive, unique, and dare we say best of the 21st century so far. Still, Time Don't Bring Me Down doesn't just hold it's own-it rips. With Mark Ryan (Marked Men, Mind Spiders, O-D-EX) and Daniel Fried + Gregory Rutherford (Bad Sports) in the lineup, these guys burn through eleven tracks in half an hour and leave nothing standing.The first two albums sounded like what one would expect from a Burke project-tight, fast, and pure Denton adrenaline. Time Won't Bring Me Down still has that DNA, but this isn't just nostalgia. Radioactivity's got their own thing now: Burke's hooks still bite, but there's more space, more mood, and the band's locked-in chemistry means every hit lands harder. One gets straight-up burners like "Time Won't Bring Me Down" and "Why" that'll knock the coffee out of one's hand, but also heart-twisters like "Analog Ways," "Ignorance Is Bliss," and "Shell" that slow the pace down considerably, and represent real progress and evolution in style and songwriting. Time Won't Bring Me Down sees Radioactivity take their core sound and expand it outwards in all directions. A true masterpiece, and we can't wait to see what comes next.
