Public Radio – Cutesy Emo-Pop

On a mission to make a difference, PUBLIC RADIO forges songs that are inspiring for personal and social
change. Mathis adds “The thing that I love about this album is that it’s aggressive, but it will still make you cry. I
still feel inspired when I listen to it. The album isn’t necessarily anti-establishment, but the undertone of
Sweetchild is one of resistance to the norm. Music shouldn’t be treated like a commodity, which is often the
case these days. It should regarded as a driving force of social change.” A perfect balance of raw energy, crafty
songwriting and lyrical sincerity, this powerful debut will keep your ears dancing from start to finish.

“This Charlotte outfit has really come into its own of late with material that features electronic-rock hooks (think
The Postal Service) and winking lyrical nods to R.E.M., U2 and Coldplay.” – Charlotte Observer
