notes
"Classic rock instincts with modern rock aggression," that's how Radio Free America describes their unique brand of garage band music. Having played together since they were fourteen years old, RFA has grown up together in every conceivable sense.
Originally known as The Shoecrackers of Bethlehem, Kris Jung, Brian Levine and Cory Danziger spent the majority of their teenage years playing all of the major clubs in the Los Angeles area. For four years, they tore up venues like The Roxy, The Whiskey and Club Mancini, with sold out crowds. The band even broke a record at Doug Weston's Troubador, with the largest attendance set by a non-touring band. To date, this record has yet to be broken.
After a brief hiatus, the band reformed as Radio Free America in 2001. With Kris Jung on vocals and guitar, Cory Danziger on vocals and guitar, Brian Levine on drums and bassist Matt Booth, the band has spent the last two years working with Producer Steve Deutsch of MARS Recording Studio. Deutsch, who is best known for his work with Van Dyke Parks, No Doubt, Iggy Pop, and The Smashing Pumpkins, recorded and produced the band's first full length album, The Song That Saved My Life in a matter of three months. "RFA is truly a live band, that's why laying down the initial tracks was so easy. They went into the studio, broke a few strings, and walked out with the bed of their record. That's when the fun begins for me." Recently, the band has contributed several tracks to a variety of college rock compilations, along with providing four licensing agreements with several extreme sports programs. The band is also currently working with EMG Pickups, Meinl Musik, JTS Microphones, and Tag Team Clothing.
As 2003 begins, Radio Free America will be heading out on the road in support of their new album. The tour, kicking off in May, will cover the greater Mid-West.

Saw it live and it was great too!
author: JustineSaw Radio Free America live and loved it! The record is REAL good too!
This album is awesome! This is the sound I've been
author: John FThis album is awesome! This is the sound I've been waiting for with the exception of recent bands like the White Stripes and the Queens who really capture the essence of what seems to be the fading soul of true rock n roll. These guys truely hit the nail on the head with this one. I can't wait to see what they do next!
musicainship--A+++
author: Professional Musician, San DiegoEvery note in tune--every lick, riff, whatever--an A+++ in musicianship. This band is definitely a very hard act to follow and surely a great band to follow! Gimme more!

author: John G.No doubt about it...this band is pretty good! The guitar work is really impressive and their sound is old, but knew. I like this record a lot.
They deserve to be Stars
author: MichelleI think that these guys prove that they have talent and that they have a unique chemistry to get the job done, which is shown greatly with this CD. The songs are very well sung and the technacalities of the music is awesome. I enjoyed it a lot. This CD shows that they can stay strong with their presentation and style in a constant theme.
