NEW MUSIC FROM PLAYRADIOPLAY!
Full-Length Album, Texas, Hits Stores March 18th


NEWS SOURCE: Wiredset

PlayRadioPlay Fronted by Dan Hunter, PlayRadioPlay! has garnered tons of fans. From making beats in his bedroom, to hitting one million plays on MySpace, and opening for Fall Out Boy all in the space of a single year, it's safe to say that this 18 year old and poptronica genius has truly arrived.

Often compared to Postal Service, on the surface, Dan’s songs are sweet, cute, and just bursting with pure happiness. But listen carefully to what his gentle voice is singing about – you'll discover a darker dimension to his music. It's this diverse combination of sound and subject that gives his music depth and realness. It's what makes PlayRadioPlay! stand out from everyone else.

Dan is not shy to talk about where his inspiration came from, and says "My father passed away the summer before my freshman year of high school. My mom drank a lot and wasn't around very much and I got into drugs and drinking and as a result ended up going to rehab for four months when I was 14. Once I got out of rehab I wasn't depressed anymore. I was happy and clean, I had a more positive outlook on everything. That's why PlayRadioPlay is generally happy music with deep, not-as-happy subject lines."

Now armed with a full-length album, with the title paying homage to his home-state, Texas hits stores on March 18th! He’s got a killer tour coming up with Yellowcard and Spill Canvas, so make sure you check that out! Tour dates:
