About

Named after fast radio bursts, flashes of radio waves from distant galaxies, Slow Radio is a 5-piece musical outfit that write abstract protest songs under a London Overground track in Mile End. Just a few weeks before the first Covid-19 lockdown, the band began remixing and updating 10 years worth of songs guitarist Jake Stow, drummer Sam Bartrop and singer/sampler operator Jack Bartrop had written together and apart while studying and working in Brighton, Madrid and Amsterdam. Since settling in East London, Milo Cave was conscripted to provide much needed bass and guitarist Matt Hocine politely asked to join after hearing the group through the walls of their practice space.
