Under the Radar Mag debuts Farees’ new video for “Bad Apples,” noting, “Farees once again turns his gaze to the world and industry he inhabits, tearing at its foundations of hypocrisy, brutality, and greed.”

Tuareg neo-funk producer, multi-instrumentalist, activist, and singer/songwriter Farees has had a prolific few years, releasing his twin LPs, Border Patrol and Both Sides of the Border, in 2020. After the guitar-heavy spoken-word protest anthems of those records, Farees is continuing that prolific streak with another pair of new records, Blindsight and Galactic Africa, both set to release on June 3rd of this year. The latter sees Farees exploring Afrobeat and dance music, while the former continues the evolution of his groove-centric neo-funk and spoken word.

Under the Radar debuts Radiator King’s new video for “Haunts Me Now,” compares frontman Adam Silvestri’s work to holy trinity of Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen & Joe Strummer

The record sees Silvestri distilling his mix of punk, dusty Americana, and blues into his sharpest pastiche yet, pulling touchstones like Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, and Joe Strummer into a more cohesive whole. Now Silvestri is back sharing the video for one of the record’s highlights, “Haunts Me Now,” premiering with Under the Radar.

“Haunts Me Now” finds Silvestri grappling with the ghosts of the past, haunted by faces and names of his youth. The spectral folk ballad breaks into a raw punk howl by the end, carried by Silvestri’s sandpaper vocals and powerhouse drumming from Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls and Violent Femmes. The accompanying video gives vision to these memories, tracking through carefree teenage escapades and an ensuing haunting tragedy.
