Radford is an alternative rock band from Los Angeles, California. The band formed after lead singer and band nucleus Johnny Radford Mead, former frontman of bass-driven indie rockers Primary, emigrated from Oxford, England to Los Angeles; there he met guitarist Chris Hower and bassist Bobby Stefano and began touring with a full band. in 1998, the band signed with RCA Records, who released their self-titled debut in 2000. Two songs from this album found their way onto major soundtracks - "Fall At Your Feet" on the soundtrack for Teaching Mrs. Tingle, and "Stay" on the soundtracks for Clubland, Scary Movie, and Never Been Kissed. A third song, "Don't Stop", peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Modern Rock charts in 2000.[1] The band toured nationally in support of bands such as Oasis, Lit, and Vertical Horizon.[2]
The band broke up for a short period between albums, and signed to a new label after their deal with RCA fell through during restructuring.[2][3] Radford's second album, Sleepwalker, was released in 2004, on Universal Records, but the album was not widely promoted and sold poorly. After another hiatus, Radford returned with an online-only EP, Black Out the Sun, in March 2006.[4]
