Radio - Ten Ton Bridge

Radio - Ten Ton Bridge
3:24
Landfall, 2010
Written by Chuck Miller?

There's a strong Midwest pop-rock vibe on this song (the band is apparently from Minnesota), with indie guitar lines, muted, shy vocals and a steady, solid percussion backbone.  This vibe here is understated but earnest and melodic.  These guys don't flaunt much in the way of attitude, but nonetheless their formula punches way out of their weight class.  It's hard to say why this delicate pop sensibility and wistful intelligence never caught on to wide audiences while REM did.
