Heartache and Fear is the debut album from London based three-piece Tape The Radio . Produced by Jim Lowe (Stereophonics, Foo Fighters) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Depeche Mode, The Killers, My Bloody Valentine).
The band Tape The Radio first came into being in March 2008 when Ben Caruso (bass) left his native San Francisco to team up with Canadian, Bryan McLellan (drums) and Londoner Malcolm (Vocals / Guitar).
The last three years have seen the band lovingly craft each track, tending their record and lavishing it with attention. The album is the band’s longed for child, something that was gestating inside Carson for a decade, something he nurtured through career tumult, failed relationships, lost friendships and something he sheltered despite the vagaries of the music industry. As the name suggests it is the culmination of a lot of ‘Heartache and Fear’. It is also a glorious and wide screen album; a sum of its parts and very much the product of the years of personal experience that all three members have poured into it.
