Led by local singer-songwriter Mark Mathis, this Charlotte outfit has really come into its own of late with new material that features electronic-rock hooks(think postal service) and winking lyrical nods to R.E.M., U2, Coldplay and Guns N' Roses.

Bio
The main writer, mark mathis, formed 'Public Radio' in late 2006 as another creative musical outlet and to escape the 'singer/songwriter' pigeonhole. The band went through several members and musical transformations as they toured 200+ dates in 2006 and 2007. Once the original drummer rejoined the band in mid 2007, public radio decided that they needed a fresh new sound to go with the new lineup. The band traveled to Regensburg, Germany to record their first ep with longtime friend and producer, nicolas balachandran. It was in the rolling hills of southern Germany that Public Radio glimpsed what could be. The resulting music catapulted them to the forefront of the Charlotte live music scene with its unique blend of electronica and rock 'n roll. The band is in the middle of showcasing for multiple labels and management with a deal to be announced soon.
