Our twelfth and final tune of the 12 Songs of Christmas comes from south London’s nerd rockers The Little Philistines. This little gem, “Talking Japanese” is a Recharged Radio exclusive and you’re not going to get it anywhere else – hence us releasing it last.  However, they are releasing a new single called Hot Phone, […]

Our eleventh and nearly final tune of the 12 Songs of Christmas comes to us from JW Show superfans of Texas, Titty Bingo. The band whose name you can’t say on radio, Titty Bingo – Dahr Jamail, Freddy Fletcher, Larry Fulcher, Derek O’Brien, Bobbie Nelson, and Willie Nelson (when he feels like it) are rooted […]

Our magic number 10 song comes from 50ft Woman! Inspired by the eponymous B-movie, 50ft Woman is rockpunkpop band from London.  Energetic spunky songs with quirky lyrics and catchy choruses make for an eclectic but energetic mix. Described as ‘Blondie’s forgotten love child‘ and a personification of ‘Into the Valley of the Ultra Vixens‘, the […]

Our seventh tune of our 12 Songs of Christmas comes from Portugal – they’re called Noiserv. Noiserv is a project that appeared in 2005 when David Santos decided to bring together many years of material and turned it into something real and serious.  In July of 2005,  Noiserv was invited to join the Portuguese netlabel […]

Our sixth song of the twelve comes to us from south of the river in south London by Englefields, one of Robert Batley‘s pet side projects. Three writers from Bexley got together to write an upbeat Christmas song at their friends’ request.  The vocals were recorded during the annual Englefields Christmas party last year under […]

Our 5th song (FIVE GOLDEN RINGS!!) comes from the Minneapolis powerhouse Lights Out Dancing. Created in May of 2007, Lights Out Dancing is a Pop Rock n’ Power Roll group out of Minneapolis, Minnesota.  The newly formed band knew they were ready to make their music their life.  In August of 2007 the band independently […]

Our fourth “Song of Christmas” comes to us from The Scratch, a Recharged Radio favourite. “Erotomanaic” by The Scratch was the very first track the band ever worked on back in 2002. Originally a pure electronic track this version was first recorded for the bands debut album DIY in 2003. 2010 saw it remastered and […]

The band consists of João Rodrigues (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Nuno Cunha (lead guitar and back vocals), Gustavo Andrade (bass guitar) and André Rosa (drums and percussion). After concentrating on writing good […]

Unquiet Nights brings us our second track for the Twelve Songs of Christmas from Burning the Tracks, an album yet unreleased.  That’s right, EXCLUSIVE (and Luke loves it when we say that.) “We Were the Ones ” is on Under The Radar’s Best of 2010 sampler, and that we are playing The Scala, London with […]

Merry Christmas!  Our first song for The 12 Songs of Christmas is from a band that we’ve been following for quite a while now, Projekt. With a knack for anthemic indie rock and roll, Projekt are a hard-working four-piece who have been gigging hard for the last 2 years. Putting in near to 100 performances […]
