In August, teenage garage-punk trio Radkey fired off “Romance Dawn,” the Misfits-saluting opening track off of their upcoming Devil Fruit EP. Now the Radke brothers — singer-guitarist Dee, bassist Isaiah, and drummer Solomon —have let loose a second song from the upcoming short-player. Like its predecessor, “Overwhelmed” owes a big debt to Glenn Danzig, as Dee’s vocals are all deep-voiced swagger. But this time Radkey favor proto-punk fury over radio-ready theatrics. Stream it below.
The Devil Fruit EP arrives October 15 via Little Man Records, and Radkey have fall dates lined up in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Scroll down for specifics.
