Background notes
Archive material and source history
Public Radio formed in New York City in the early 1980s. Their 1984 single "17 Is Too Young" became their breakout track, pulling them into a wider spotlight. The band's lineup included Stephen Pastel on vocals and guitar, Jim Morrison on guitar, Douglas Hart on bass, John McGeoch on keyboards and guitar, and Sandra Smith on drums.
They released a series of albums through the '80s and '90s, including Public Radio (1984), Mystery Angels (1985), and Modern Medicine (1989). Songs like "Accident," "Electric Blue," and "Shipping Lanes" filled out their catalog. The group faced some internal changes, with McGeoch and Hart eventually leaving.
Pastel and Smith stayed with the project as other musicians came and went. Public Radio has been on hiatus for some time, with no announced plans to record or perform again.
