Adventuresome instrumentals, rendered starkly by electric guitar and drums. Much respect is due musicians who contrive song architecture with plenteous intellectual investment. The stylistic compound here is a construct unto itself, numbering among constituents Garage, Surf, Grunge, and Prog (that last being something the present writer generally turns from, though in this instance, it intrigues). Songs are best appreciated in their entireties; disparate tempos, shadings, and ambitions flicker mischievously, only to transmogrify into things unanticipated. Listeners may well wonder where songs will ultimately wind up - the answer can only be learned through experience.

Bio
The Tragic Radicals are a spirited two-piece instrumental band boasting the elements of progressive rock, surf, and grunge. Categorized in a fanciful genre dubbed 'Choose Your Own Adventure,' the band's song crafting has proven to trigger a diverse audience, and their ability to unapologetically cram endless hard and soft musical configurations and time signatures into a two and a half minute song is exceptionally unconventional. For those who have had the opportunity to experience them live agree that it's hard to conceive that the amount of sound radiating from the stage comes from just two people.
