Düsseldorf based, The Radio Field was originally the bedroom project of Lars Schmidt: in late 2020, during the second lockdown, Lars (from the band Subterfuge) picked up his guitar out of boredom and within a couple of days a handful of songs came out. He mail-ordered a Rickenbacker 12-string, got the AC30 home from the practice room and started recording those songs. The first release under The Radio Field name was Simple EP, out on Less Records in cooperation with Subjangle Records in the fall 2022, and Lars was asked by good friends to form a real band out of it. Now, with Mark Specht (Drums, founding member of Subterfuge), Christoph Scheider (Bass, former member of Klee, Clayton Farlow, Soap, Soccer) and Philipp Breuer (Lead Guitar, of Pale fame) -people sharing similar tastes and a musical vision- an album full of songs was arranged in no time and recordings were started already at the second rehearsal. What started as the jangly back-to-the-roots lockdown home recording project of Lars Schmidt is now a proper band and the debut album, Don’ts and Dos will be out on August 25th, again on Subjangle and Less Records, accompanied by a national tour.
