Black Bananas - Rad Times Xpress IV

Review by Richard Wink

Rad Times Xpress IV is a fun rock album, in the sense that it is an unabashed sound of a bunch of people playing the kind of music they love. But who wants to hear this? How can you even market this to a new audience? Why doesn’t it even sound convincing?»

'rad times xpress iv' is the first album by new band black bananas. black bananas features
internationally feared rock vocalist jennifer herrema (rtx, royal trux). black bananas' first album 'rad times xpress iv' runs the gamut from gnarly odes to reality tv in songs like 'my house' to future electric metallic gogo sounds, all conceived with scraps of influence from jennifer's childhood passions zigzagged with other currents out there, creating a sound that will take you to a specific place that only black bananas know how to find. on drag city.
