Numbers Radio

Numbers Radio are a hi-energy rock band hailing from Brisbane, Australia.

The band formed in 2008, and only 3 months later got mass attention winning a national youth radio competition, Triple J Unearthed. From there the band saw their first 3 singles, ‘Come On’, ‘Boring’ & ‘Automatic’ receiving high rotation on radio nationally, and lead to festival performances at Homebake, Come Together, Sounds Of Spring, and supporting the likes of Birds Of Tokyo, You Am I, British India, The Bronx, plus numerous headline tours.

This vigorous touring schedule has earned the band their live stripes, as night after night they dish up a tight, fierce performance, bringing their relentless rock songs to life on stage. As Fasterlouder put it… “Numbers Radio demonstrate a Children Collide-esque ability to transform their uncomplicated power pop into something edgy and interesting in the live arena.... Numbers Radio represent some of the best elements from the new crop of Australian rock groups".

The bands latest release, a 7 track mini album released Nov 2010 again saw the first single Final Day instantly added to hi-rotation on national youth network Triple J, and edging them even closer to the top of Aussie rock!

“Numbers Radio demonstrate a Children Collide-esque ability to transform their uncomplicated power pop into something edgy and interesting in the live arena.... Numbers Radio represent some of the best elements from the new crop of Australian rock groups" Fasterlouder, VIC - Sept 2010

“Despite a small spot on the billing, they become the standout performer for the stage.' Time Off - July 2010

“The set’s closer 'Fire' is an absolute face-melter. This trio’s drive and eclectic show will arguably see them stand out from their fellow peers in the genre within the foreseeable future..” Fasterlouder, QLD - Sept 2010

“It's ballsy, it's pounding and it's a whole world of fun, and you really can't ask for much more. The trio invited the gradually-growing audience closer to the stage, and with each galloping rendition of full-speed alt-rock from both their debut album and their upcoming EP, the invitation was hard to refuse.” The Au Review – Sept 2010

“The Brisbane three-piece was a tight unit. There were shades of glam and plenty of Datsuns-styled high-octane guitar riffs and shuddering ryhthms to pack a real punch" Drum Media Syd - Sept 2010

FINAL DAY EP reviews...

"Wholly unpretentious and crunchingly aggressive, the Final Day EP is the next thrilling instalment in Numbers Radio’s ascent to Australian hard rock throne” Rave Magazine – Oct 2010

And here are some other kind words...

“I love the Blood Brothers vibe in the vocals. This track swings like a bunch of bananas. Go ape! I am.” Richard Kingsmill – triple j

“Snappy, dirty and with more than a little Mess Hall influence going on... this is a great song. The vocals lift the song from being too heavy/dirgy and there's a great energy to "Come On". Onya's.” Zan Rowe – triple j

“The debut ep from numbers radio is damn strong for this unsigned brisbane band, and this track is a standout from it. it keeps building up and up and the vocal hook is a killer - turn it up!” Nick Findlay – triple j

“If you like the songs, buy the album – it has great fifties-style sci-fi artwork and with more play money behind them, they could overthrow Children Collide as Australia’s best power trio.” whothehell.net

“Watch this space as Numbers Radio are definitely on the rise.” theDwarf.com.au
