PCL presents The Radio Dept

Due to unforeseen issues, The Radio Dept have unfortunately had to cancel their UK shows in April, including the Glasgow show at CCA. We apologise for the inconvenience.

The Radio Dept. is a pop group originating from Malmö, Sweden.

The Radio Dept. has always been a very politically charged band and several singles and EPs with sharp political commentary have emerged throughout the years; 'Freddie and the Trojan Horse' came out in 2008 and was aimed at the Swedish prime minister at the time, Fredrik Reinfeldt, and his right wing Moderates party, for posing as a workers party in order to trick workers into voting for them. Another stab at the right wing government came just days before the Swedish election in 2010 with the single ”The New Improved Hypocrisy”. The same year the band released its third album, 'Clinging to a Scheme' which contained the singles ”David”, ”Heaven’s on Fire” and ”Never Follow Suit” and was followed by a lot of international touring. To bridge the gap between albums Labrador decided to release a compilation album in 2011. It was named ”Passive Aggressive” and contained all the single A-sides to date and a selection of B-sides and rarities.

The band's fourth album, "Running Out of Love", was released in October 2016,
