Archive material and source history
Radiation City formed in Portland around 2005, with Matthew Joyner and Randy Bemrose starting out playing in local basements and coffee shops. They released their first album, 'The Sellout,' in 2008, followed by 'Creatures' in 2011 and 'Synesthetica' in 2013. The band's lineup has included Joyner on vocals and guitar, Bemrose on bass and synths, and Ryan Dobrowski on drums.
Songs like 'Come And Go' and 'Foreign Bodies' show their style, which mixes synths and guitars with straightforward vocals. They put out more albums later, including 'Strange Rituals' in 2017 and 'Reawakening' in 2020.
At one point, there was some talk about their song 'Departures' and plagiarism claims, but that got sorted out without much lasting fuss. They kept making music through the usual ups and downs of being in a band.
