TV On The Radio is an American band from Brooklyn, New York. The band doesn’t quite fit any specific mold as they’ve been classified at different times as a band that plays alternative rock, soul or jazz music. They can best be described as an experimental rock band that likes to fuse many different genres of music together in their performances. The band has done many collaborations with other artists including singer David Bowie and Nick Zinner of the band ‘The Yeah Yeah Yeahs’. Their first EP entitled ‘Young Liars’ received critical acclaim but it was their second full length album called ‘Return to Cookie Mountain’ which earned the band widespread acclaim as it was given the distinction of being named album of the year in 2006 by Spin Magazine. Their latest release entitled ‘Dear Science’ has been given the most praise so far with the album being named album of the year by Spin magazine, MTV, Entertainment Weekly and The Guardian. In order to promote the album, the band has made several media appearances by appearing as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live in February and playing the song ‘Dancing Choose’ on the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. You can purchase their 4th studio album in stores now or download it as a digital download on Itunes.
