OVERTIME: The Bronze Radio Return
Hey gang! I was supposed to go out and see The Bronze Radio Return tonight in Harvard Square. My long time friend Jamie Roberts from Big Machine Media asked me to go see The Bronze Radio return tonight. Granted they are not a metal, punk, and hardcore band, but more as a way to get introduced some swell chaps from Hartford CT, whom are amazing talented.
Thanks to my father sharing his Swine Flu with me, I am sitting in PJ on my couch with my dog sweating and talking like I smoked 18 pounds of hash! Needless to say, I can;t make it out and spread my germs. But what I can do is to shine the spotlight on a very cool coffee shop type band. They are the perfect band to sip coffee and make breakfast to on a Sunday morning. Yes! Even I can;t listen to Hatebreed and Cannibal Corpse every second. So with that, here is your chance to expand your musical horizons! Enjoy and thanks to the Big Machine gals for being wonderful and understanding!
Bio:
“I just fell in love with a forty-five (rpm record) been kept alive in a box over 30 years old,” sings 24-year-old Chris Henderson, the front man of the Hartford, CT, band BRONZE RADIO RETURN. This lyric, from their full-length debut album, OLD TIME SPEAKER, begins to paint the picture that enables your understanding of the group and their music. Like listening to old Bluesmen on your iPod Touch, BRONZE RADIO RETURN is about the juxtaposition of the old and the new. The love for these old records is a mutual feeling shared by the band members, who attribute their sound to the music that came long before their childhoods.
The serious nature of the band members’ musicianship led them to study their craft for their higher education. They met playing throughout CT and NY in various permutations through mutual friends. The way they modernize this traditional American style of music is what makes them truly unique. “We each offer a different spin on the music we play,” offers Henderson, who professes great appreciation for Ben Harper and Muddy Waters. “That’s really how we found our unique sound. Everyone has a voice and adds to it.” Bandmates Struble and Griffith cite Stevie Wonder, while Tanen is moved by the modern-day Stone Temple Pilots’ tight bass groove. CCR and Stevie Ray Vaughn light Fetkowitz’s fire, and Warner rounds it out with a push from Tom Petty.
Producer, Doug Derryberry (Bruce Hornsby, Ben Folds Five) discovered BRONZE RADIO RETURN’s considerable talents at a NYC show and produced their first EP. More recently, the Northeastern band’s collaboration with Midwestern producer/multi-instrumentalist Chad Copelin brought them to a Southern studio and resulted in the creation of a ten-song album. OLD TIME SPEAKER has brought the band’s sound to a whole new place, and the band has made it their mission to experience as much of this country as possible, hitting the road for incredibly long stretches to share their music with as many as possible.
Myspace Records brought BRONZE RADIO RETURN into their stable of ‘Friends and Family’ – the best unsigned bands on the popular portal. Exemplified by tracks like “Pullin’ on the Reins,” “Strawberry Hill,” and “Wolves,” OLD TIME SPEAKER has what it takes to please lovers of all kinds of Rock & Roll.
Henderson concludes, “Ultimately, we want to make people move when they hear our music.” With their non-stop touring, get ready for BRONZE RADIO RETURN to ‘move’ into your town soon! .
“Music and talent this good is well worth supporting”
– Bill Clifford – The Hartford Advocate
“It really surpassed my expectations!…To their credit, there’s no one band I hear influencing them, which is a good thing for them!”
– Eric Danton – Hartford Courant / FOX 61
“I’m going to have to post a disclaimer with this myspace link. You won’t be able to stop listening to BRR’s music once you’ve started. You have been warned”
– Alexes Spencer – Music 27:6
“…and catchy songs from the band’s new LP, “Old Time Speaker,” wouldn’t sound out of place on Top 40 radio.”
– The Morning Call

Fresh off their summer tour with Hatebreed, CHIMAIRA are proud to announce fall and winter tour dates supporting Trivium! The brutal tour also features heavy hitters Whitechapel and Dirge Within. CHIMAIRA hits the road this fall, kicking off the tour October 29 in Atlanta, GA.
Guitarist Rob Arnold commented on the upcoming run with Trivium: “This tour has been a long time coming, the last time that we toured with these guys was years ago and it was only for a few shows. We are proud of all of the success that TRIVIUM has had and that they have grown into true Heavy Metal Heavyweights. We cannot wait to tear the United States apart with them, this Fall and Winter!”
Singer Mark Hunter added: “We’re stoked to be heading out with our old friends in Trivium this winter. We have a good history with these guys; we’ve known them since they were coming up. We haven’t been to some of the places we’re hitting in over a year and a half, so we know the fans are hungry and we plan on bringing it. Metal heads unite and get pumped, this is going to be a night you don’t want to miss!”
