Lucky Street is the first full-length studio album from the band Go Radio. Produced by Tim O'Heir and mixed by James Paul Wisner, Lucky Street was released March 1, 2011 on Fearless Records.[8]
Background
In the July 2010 Issue of Alternative Press Jason Lancaster revealed that he had begun writing for Go Radio's debut LP.
On August 31, 2010 in Brooklyn, NY the band headed into the studio with Tim O’Heir (The All-American Rejects, Hot Rod Circuit, The Starting Line, Say Anything) and finished recording on September 29, 2010.
On February 25, 2011, Go Radio streamed the entire album on their Myspace.
Singles
The first single, "Any Other Heart", was released January 31, 2011.[9] It became available for streaming on AbsolutePunk as an ABSOLUTExclusive February 1, 2011.[10] On June 6, 2011 the music video premiered on Vevo and was added to the Fearless Records YouTube channel.[11][12]
The second single, "The Truth Is" was released February 14, 2011[13] and on that same day was made available for streaming on RAGGED as a RAGGED Exclusive.[14]
Reception
Lucky Street was very well received by critics, with Drew Beringer of AbsolutePunk saying "From the soaring opener to the powerful closing number, Lucky Street bleeds with emotion. Add in Jason Lancaster's one-of-kind vocals, and it should come as no surprise that Go Radio has created one of the best rock records of 2011."[15]
