"The Rhode Goes Retro For Music Benefit"

"I caught a bit of them [Radioactive Squirrels] last weekend at Racine's Party on the Pavement and they have excellent '60s chops." - Kenosha News (Paddy Finneran)


"It's a Bird, It's a Plane... it's John Schuld of the Radioactive Squirrels"

"When I went to your website and realized you guys were a cover band, honestly I was like, “Oh, a cover band.” Kind of disappointed. But then when I listened to it I said, “Yay!” because you took the songs and made them your own." - Tammy Peacy, ExposeKenosha.com


"Radioactive Squirrels Ready To Rock The Block"

"Schuld has taken a fresh, energizing approach to classic rock and oldies tunes, adding a punk and alternative edge to them. Even songs like "Wipeout", "Happy Together" and the group's signature cover, "Paint It Black" get a frenetic, punky punch." - Bill Robbins, Kenosha News

“A fun loving band with contagious energy that the crowd responds to; professionals on and off the stage with a well-rounded set list that will appease most everyone – everyone loves the Squirrels!” - Richard Torine, Harborfest
