Listening to Radiolucent, one might get the impression that little has changed down in Dixie since Otis Redding, the Allman Brothers, and Jerry Reed first made their way across the red Georgia clay. Well, truth be told, not all that much has changed. At least not where Radiolucent comes from. Down here the whiskey still warms you, the collard greens still taste just like grandma’s, and the classic records continue to prick at the soul, same as the day those tracks were cut. You’ll find Radiolucent adhering to this rich heritage like a time-honored family recipe.

Forming in 2007, Michael Mann, and Andy Appling set out to add their own chapter to the story of southern music. Around their tales of heartaches and hard times, they crafted a high-octane brand of traditional southern music that’s planted firmly in the present. After rounding out the line-up with Mike Cowan, they began to plow their way across the North Georgia countryside, playing dive bars, honky tonks, and fairgrounds, all the while amassing a dedicated following that continually pack their hometown shows in Athens, Georgia. Currently the band is writing and recording their debut full length record, due out in late 2011, and building their regional fanbase with their live shows, solidifying their place as one of the south’s premiere rock & roll bands.
