ALBUM REVIEW: “Sophia (EP)” by The Radishes

The Radishes
Sophia (EP)

Much like the root of their name, San Francisco rock band The Radishes are raw. A sound and energy similar to The White Stripes, with a hint of Nirvana’s raspy ruckus, The Radishes may develop into something tasty. However their sound needs further growth to distinguish themselves among the lot of rock bands. The catchy hooks and static guitar riffs on title track “Sophia” stand out as the album’s best. Scratchy vocals and raging emotion produce a pungent taste on “Matter of Fact.” If they continue to cultivate high energy tunes, The Radishes can become a highly acquired taste.
