Bosch Boschetti: When we started out in 1999, I had a couple ideas for the name of the band but kept going back to Radio Friendly cause it just sounded cool. I knew the good meaning of it and my goal was to make great upbeat Christian music that everyone could listen to.

Bosch: 2. (Absolutely! In 2004, we played a rather large show opening for The Circus and Gabriel [Wilson] and myself hit it off pretty well that day. We later on in the year ended up working with Gabriel and Chris (The Glitter Twins) mixing two of our tracks off our Christ Like All Star record our first full length studio project. I absolutely loved what The Circus was doing and they have been a huge influence to say the least to me and RF to this day.

Bosch: Well, "The Heart of Worship" has always been a big favorite worship song of mine and my daughter's since it came out. When I started thinking about a cover song for this EP, I knew that was the song to cover. During rehearsals, before going into the studio, I came to find out that Matt Redman was a distant cousin of my wife Marty, and thought that was pretty cool. I arranged a meet up at The Namm show 2019 Worship Night, which was coming up, and had a chance to meet and get to know Matt a little more and share with him that I wanted his blessing for covering his song. Matt's response was "only if you do it RF style," to which we did. We are blessed to have gotten the chance to do this cover and will always be grateful to God and Matt for this chance. We gave this track everything we had.

Bosch: With "Made To Worship," I wanted to write a song that talked about the things we go through on a daily basis in life, but no matter what we go through, we need to always remember as a child of The King is that we were made to worship God through it all. On a musical note, I wanted to do something different with this song so I had my keyboardist Jesse Miller come up with a cool synth lead versus an electric guitar lead-in for the song, and I think it came out super rad. I am an 80s kid, so pretty much everything I write, whether I like it or not, has some kind of 80s flair to it. When I originally penned this song, my inspiration for a guitar riff was the intro to a Blondie song and from there the song was created.

For the song "Total Praise," I sat down to write a nice acoustic song that was easy to follow and sing back with. I brought the lyrics to Jesse and we ended up switching out some of the lyrics, and then I had him and our guitarist Mark Hofman work out most of the arrangement based off of my original concept. Altogether, I think we came up with a beautiful song of worship that describes some of what Jesus went through for us that day on Calvary and so for that we offer up our "Total Praise" to him every day.

Bosch: Yes, you're right Michael, the band was established in the winter of 1999 and by summer, we were in the studio recording our first EP, releasing Subject To Change in October. Our first single was "Do You Know," a very 70s British Rock tune that's very upbeat. Our second single, "I am so Blessed," landed us our first radio spot. Radio Friendly is celebrating 21 years this year and we have been blessed to have stayed busy making music and playing a lot of shows over the years sharing the stage with many great Christian and non-Christian artists. We actually started production on our current EP back in February of 2019. Our producer and engineer Brad Barth at Audio Voyage sat down with us and said "let's take our time on this project and have no deadlines whatsoever and make a record like they use to do back in the day." We just really wanted to give this worship project everything we had, giving God our very best to date. So, yes, the pandemic didn't hit until we were in the middle of manufacturing the EP. By this time, we had an April 17th date as our launch and we all discussed it and thought it would actually be a great time to share this music with our fans and the world and try to be an encouragement to all.

Bosch: Yes, we are planning on doing some drive-in concerts here soon and working on a full production live stream event as well. We also will be dropping one more lyric video and band music video before the end of the year. We have three Christmas EP's and a single, "I Heard The Bells," that we will be promoting starting in mid-October, so we should be staying busy through the end of the year.

Bosch: God has been teaching me, personally, a huge lesson in patience and trust this year with the making of this project and not playing many shows; I really needed it. This is the first time for us as well as many bands to have a music release and not be able to go out live and do what we do for God. Through this challenging season, my faith has grown more than ever and I have learned even more how to give everything over to God and allow Him to work in me for the good. I know deep in my heart that this EP will reach many, but even if it didn't, and it only reached one soul and changed their life forever for the kingdom of God, we as a band have successfully completed this mission.
