It's my pleasure to announce that Radiation City has officially been adopted into the Tender Loving Empire family! Not long ago our ears and hearts were swept away by the magnificent recordings contained on The Hands That Take You, the debut record from Portland's Radiation City. It only took a few short months before we were completely addicted to this record and had to partner up with it's creators. Radiation City was spawned by Cameron Spies and Lizzy Ellison who also share the stage in other local pop power-houses Spesus Christ, and the Soap Collectors. Spies and Ellison were soon joined by Randy Bemrose (of Skeletron) and Matt Rafferty (of Shotgun, The Intelligence) to complete the sound.We are so incredibly excited to be working with this band of indescribable talent and limitless potential. Tender Loving Empire will be releasing The Hands That Take You in late September/early October.

Don't miss Radiation City's proper induction at TLE's 4th Birthday Party, June 3rd @ Wonder Ballroom. They'll be sharing the stage with labelmates Typhoon, Jared Mees & The Grown Children, Loch Lomond, Y La Bamba, and Boy Eats Drum Machine.

Until then, please have a listen to the track that got us into this delightful mess in the first place, 'The Color of Industry', which will, of course, be appearing on the new record.

A million congratulations to Loch Lomond for signing a European record deal with radical UK label Chemikal Underground, home to badass notables Mogwai, Roky Erickson, and Delagados among others. You know what that means Europe!? Loch Lomond is heading your way! Until European Dates are finalized you can catch Loch Lomond in and around the NW, most notably at the Tender Loving Empire Birthday Party on June 3rd at Wonder Ballroom or at Neumo's Capitol Hill Block Party the weekend of July 22-23.
