Previously released as a strictly limited edition 7", Radio 4's Eyes Wide Open has been remixed and re-released. This NYC combo excite the music industry with their sub-Zeppesque/Clashness, but to me, it speaks more of The Music.

While this single does all it should, it's got a groove with its riff-driven garage noise, it fails to seriously ignite.

The B side Struggle interests more, not playing by the rules so much. As it catches a guitar/synth hook I feel it and catch the groove and it interests enough to keep a half open eye on their inevitable press darling progress.
