The cast of Radioactivity reads like the credits to an all-star lineup
of Texas punk and garage rock royalty, including members of The Marked
Men, Mind Spiders, Bad Sports, Wax Museums, The Reds, VIDEO, and The
Novice. Jeff Burke is one of the most distinctive songwriters in the
punk rock underground, and these songs will sound instantly familiar
to any fans of the aforementioned.
Radioactivity's first LP was rightly hailed as a sort of sequel to The
Marked Men's remarkable run through the first decade of the
millennium, and while Silent Kill bears the unmistakable hallmarks of
that band's tightly wound "Denton sound," Radioactivity can now lay
claim to a sonic territory of their very own. Burke's distinctive
hooks dig as deep as ever, but the scope of his vision has expanded.
Although the twelve songs on Silent Kill abide one strict
rule--providing garage punk pleasure at all costs--Radioactivity bend
that mandate in myriad ways. Breathless ragers like "Battered" and "No
Alarm" are as fleet and raw as anything in the combined canon of
Radioactivity's members, while mid-tempo heartbreakers "Way Out,"
"Connection" and "Where I Come From" find Burke and company opening up
their sound to let in a little tenderness. And then there are songs
like "Not Here" or "With You," which enact perfect unions of melody
and kinetic energy.
