New Plague Radio + Band in Lake Balboa, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Mammoth guitars, dizzying rhyme schemes and unstoppable hooks make experimental hip hop group New Plague Radio a complete reinvention of rap rock. Blending the ferocity of 70’s punk, the searing lyricism of 80’s hip hop and the raw authenticity of 90’s alternative, New Plague Radio has crafted a sound entirely their own.

New Plague Radio formed when Los Angeles rapper Chief Redeye asked Berklee trained singer and composer Donovan Wolfington to organize his 2019 album release show. Wolfington reached out to Stretch Zero's Devin Taylor to play bass, and the trio, bonded by their mutual love of foreign horror films and old cartoons, began writing songs between rehearsals. 'Methamphetamine Dance', their debut single and video, was released in November 2020. AnR Factory declared “if you don’t feel your heart rate quicken as New Plague Radio’s single unravels, you might want to check for a pulse”. They followed up in December with their EP 'The Beeswax', which Gas Mask Magazine said “hooks you and keeps you addicted”. Razor sharp wordplay punctuates grooving guitar lines and New Plague Radio’s unique penchant for barbershop-inspired vocal arrangements. With an absolutely ballistic live set and undeniably original material, New Plague Radio's music is as catchy as... well, you know.
