Radio is the latest Philly band to keep the streak alive." - New Noise Magazine
�With the hooks of Gaslight Anthem, The leads of The Menzingers, and the melodies of classic melodic punk, Fire In The
Radio combines their elements to form their new album, Telemetry....Fire In The

�A melodic punk supergroup of sorts, Fire In The
Radio are a band of punk and hardcore lifers who�ve pooled their resumes into an exceptionally catchy, well-written record, Telemetry. Think Samiam, late-period Jawbreaker, even Saves The Day." - Half Cloth
