Wild Honey (2019)
My love for The Marked Men is well documented and in particular I've been such a huge fan of Jeff Burke's songwriting for many, many years. When he started up the band Radioactivity, I dove right in. I thought i had been keeping up on all of their releases, but apparently this 7" snuck out in 2019. Luckily I noticed it in a Green Noise email blast and grabbed a copy.
It's a familiar one-two punch. The A side "Erased" is fast and hooky with the hyper drumming and chord progressions that feel familiar, but always take a slightly unexpected turn. Things calm down a little on B side "Fear," but Burke has an uncanny ability with vocal melodies and I dig this song every bit as much as the A side.
Again, I don't know exactly how I missed this 7" for two years. I don't know if it's a lack of paying attention or a lack of reliable places to get information about these types of releases. I'm pretty sure I'm subscribed to the Wild Honey email list, but this one still slipped past me. I'll blame old age.
