Fuse fearsome dedication with six diversely talented musicians, a mind-boggling work-ethic and a positive mission, and youre facing an unstoppable force. Welcome to Detroit Mutant Radio, an Atlanta via Detroit/LA rock-rap hybrid, whose tasty tunes, stylistic diversity and frenetic live show are paying dividends with a hard-to-ignore street buzz.
Originally formed as a backing band for a Detroit rap duo featuring now-frontman Cleaven R. Creech, Detroit Mutant Radio crystallized into its current format after re-locating to Los Angeles in mid-2004. Now residing in Atlanta, they are poised to break out nationally. Although they only started gigging as Detroit Mutant Radio in late 2005, public demand soon dictated that the band rush-record their debut album, Cash N Burn, in just 28 days from conception to completion.
The result is a multi-faceted record which fuses uplifting, socially-conscious lyrics with raucous rock dynamics, all kept captivating with cultured twin-guitar interplay, bustling turntables, and a muscular, in-the-pocket rhythm section.
However eclectic Cash N Burn gets running the gamut from Faith No More groove-metal to Run DMC hip-hop - the heart of their songs remains constant: It always flows around the structure of the words and what the message is, Creech stresses. Were about awareness.Live, 'DMR' is all about energy, and Creech fully realizes his unique inner star, a born performer who simultaneously evokes Chuck D and Cat Stevens, Big Daddy Kane and Billy Joel.
With an arresting debut album on the streets and a snowballing live rep, Detroit Mutant Radio is set to reap the rewards of their skills and sacrifice. I guarantee that if you come at us with an open mind youll walk away knowing that we put 110% out there, and that its truly genuine, Creech promises. - L.A.Times
“I played the album straight through
from start to finish.
...This album is a BLAST!”

“I believe these guys are the difference
between what you’ve heard and what you’ll be hearing from now on.”
--John Foxworthy - GarageRadio.com
