TV On The Radio: New Album & Tour

TV On The Radio threw me for a loop when I first heard them a few years ago. An incredible amount of buzz propelled them and they were always playing around NYC, but I just couldn't get into them. It wasn't until the release of their debut album on Touch & Go that things finally clicked. Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes was one of my favorite albums of the year and "Staring At The Sun" entered my list of songs that I would never tire of.

On the band's sophomore album, the Interscope-released Return to Cookie Mountain, TVOTR bring back that excitement that surrounded NYC five years ago -- the feeling of a scene of friends having each other's backs, gigging together and hoping for the best. Unlike many of their peers, the band manages to stay relevant by sticking to their guns and making an album that is both accessible and exciting. The band is tough to pin down because they truly sound like no one else.
