Los Angeles, CA (July2007)Excitement levels are high as LA-based energetic rock band Transistor Radio prepares for the August 28th release of its debut album A Legacy Between, also the first release from Up At Nite Records, the new rock imprint of Syntax Records, created by the pacesetters behind JoshuaFest and Cornerstone California.


The quintet's alt-rock groove is backed up by boldly honest lyrics?unafraid to reveal candid fears on the deeply expressive "California in December," or bravely convey the chaos of dependency in "Addiction." Their sound is message-oriented without skimping on sonic excellence, as illustrated in the melodic intensity of "The Getaway."


"This record touches base on the human issues that everybody relates to," says Up At Night Records founder Aaron Diello. "I mean everyone. You cannot listen to A Legacy Between and not relate. You find yourself singing the song for yourself, and crying out to God because you know you're not alone. This record does an amazing job of pointing the listener in the right direction . . . to a God that is infinite in love and grace."


This direct approach is no surprise coming from a band willing to invite fans to send them prayer requests and discussion questions. Meeting regularly on Tuesdays to cover those needs in prayer, Transistor Radio is sincere about its mission focus. "We don't want to be just a band about music," shares drummer Jordan Heid. "We feel God calling us to take it a step further, and become engaged in people's lives. That's what God calls us all to do in the Bible, period. To be engaged with one other."

Transistor Radio not only bring their chunky guitars, contagious hooks, and potent lyrics to A Legacy Between, but a driving desire to open connections between a loving God and those in need of hope and encouragement.
