BRADIO

BRADIO sounds like the most charismatic wedding band in the galaxy crashed a high-budget anime production. Their music is a relentless celebration, built on the bedrock of 1970s American funk and disco but polished with the neon sheen of modern J-pop. Every track is anchored by Takaaki Shingyoji’s incredible vocal range, which slides effortlessly from a gritty soul growl to a crystal-clear falsetto that would make the Bee Gees proud.

What truly sets them apart is their commitment to the 'Funky Party People' ethos. While many modern funk revivalists lean into irony or lo-fi aesthetics, BRADIO goes for the maximalist throat. You get tight, percussive guitar scratching, slap-bass lines that feel like a physical heartbeat, and horn sections that punch through the mix with theatrical flair. It is music that refuses to let you stay still, prioritizing kinetic energy and unadulterated positivity above all else.

Start with the single 'Flyers' to hear their most iconic high-speed disco-rock sound, then move into 'Otona Hit Parade' for a masterclass in modern funk groove. If you want something more soulful, 'Back To The Funk' showcases their ability to channel classic R&B through a contemporary lens. It is the ultimate soundtrack for anyone who believes that music should, first and foremost, be a blast.
