Described as a “unique sound, a feverish halfway between electro and hip hop,” Radio Radio, hailing from Montreal Quebec, are nothing if not entertaining on their sophomore album Belmundo Regal. Rapping in Franglais (a particularly Canadian blend of English and French), Radio Radio grabbed my attention the first time I heard them even though I didn’t entirely understand what they were saying. After finishing up a stint at SXSW, Radio Radio will be playing shows in Quebec before heading to LA at the end of April. They are definitely worth checking out if you have the opportunity. Listen to the single Enfant Special from Belmundo Regal on the band’s CBC radio three profile here: http://r3.ca/05VV
