Check this website out. It’s called Streamcult and it’s a music discovery site. My favorite part besides the music news is “THE DAILY 6” basically, they feature 6 artists from all over the world every day and you can listen to them on the site. Comes in pretty handy when you’re in need of new music! Anyway, check it out!

One of the things I really like about Paul is his obsessive personality and one of his little obsessions happens to be The Bravery. To be more specific, not only does he think that Sam Endicott is one of the best lookin’ guys to ever grace this planet but he’s also really really into the song “Time Won’t Let Me Go.” If there’s a jukebox in the same room as Paul, this is the first song he will play. And you will find him standing in front of the juke box playing air bass guitar to the song while he murmurs to himself “God, this is a great song!” I wish I had a video to show but here’s The Bravery’s “Time Won’t Let Me Go” I hope you enjoy it as much as Paul does.
You know, I think I’ve seen those panties at Kohls or was it Gordmans? Yeah, I think it was Kohls.

Esprit De Corps, RadioRadio’s latest album, was released a year ago on March 25th. This is the band’s second full length album, and by far the bands best work. It has a lot of fun songs to offer. Songs like “LoveSexSoul” and “Love 2 Love” will make you dance right out of your chair. But that is not all this album has to offer, the title track “Esprit De Corps” is a song of empowerment and overcoming. This is some of the band’s best work, but don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what the bass player of RadioRadio, Paul Cristiano, had to say when asked about the album.
What is the message of Esprit De Corps?
The literal meaning is of ‘Esprit De Corps’ is ‘The Spirit of the Group’ which is an old military term-which works on a few different levels for us. Basically we wanted the music and art work to convey the band as an elite fighting battalion ready to take on the world, we chose the Fleur De Lis after writing the song ‘Esprit De Corps’ (both steeped in French tradition) and assigned our own meaning to the Fleur De Lis-the three pedals represent a holy trinity: the band, the music and the fans.
What is your favorite song off the album?
What else? ‘Esprit De Corps’
What was the inspiration behind Esprit De Corps?
Greg and I have spent a lot of time together and consequently we talk about a lot of different things, things from our conversations sometimes find their way into the lyrics. For ‘Esprit De Corps’, I believe one of the conversations we had was based on my wife and I - I explained to him that I didn’t think it was necessary to have much of anything in common with someone you love, but your common experiences together end up shaping your lives and tend to be much more profound and enduring than having something like similar political or religious views. I thought for us (Heather and I) our story is our ‘glue’.
So……..
“We have this story, you and I….”
That’s at least part of it, the other parts are like most RR songs - stuff about hangin’ in or stickin with it.If you could pick one song to represent the album as a whole what would it be and why?
‘Esprit De Corps’ represents the album for a couple of different reasons-it just seemed like at the time we had finally hit our stride with regards to writing, performing-everything was working and this song seemed to capture the spirit of how the band felt at the time.
What was the hardest song to write? perform?
The most difficult song to write: Not sure about the most difficult to write because I don’t think any of these were what you’d call ‘easy’ but the one that was debated the most, and changed the most from start to finish was ‘Gone’.
The most difficult to play is ‘Esprit De Corps’ - by a long mile.
Which song is your favorite to perform?
I really, really like performing most of the songs from ‘Esprit’ - I can’t really say that for our other releases. Can I give two favorites?
Tied for first place:
‘Esprit De Corps’ + ‘Gone’What was the release show for the album like?
The release show was at ‘Club Ivey’ here in Tulsa on Brookside and was a real event, there was a three camera video shoot along with multi-track audio. These never saw the light of day unfortunately. Chase Stites and Jenny Labow were the openers, we had a really good turn out. The guy from ‘Man vs. Food’ (Adam Richman) was there, which was kind of nuts. They were filming here in Tulsa and he just happened to stop by.
Anything else you would like to add about the album or your personal experience in the making and release of it?
On a personal note, this was one of the most difficult periods for me personally and professionally-right as we hit our stride (recording wise) I unintentionally drove a knife through my left hand after a show (I was tearing down our banner) which forced me to record the back half of the record with a full cast on my left forearm arm. This was difficult technically, and then the recovery afterward was very slow and was also very, very difficult from a mental standpoint. I went through a period of several months of trying to convince my brain that my hand was o.k. Initially, my brain wouldn’t comply and this manifested itself in the form of some really uneasy nights on stage. I eventually found the handle again but that took a good six months, the pain didn’t subside until six months after that-January 2012. I stuck with it, so that’s my own personal ‘Esprit De Corps’
I would like to thank Paul Cristiano for taking the time to answer our questions through email and for sharing the story of Esprit De Corps with us. In honor of the anniversary of the amazing album go check out Esprit De Corp and experience all it has to offer.
Ladies and gentleman, this is RADIORADIO.
