Bio | It’s a truly rare occasion when a debut by a band is met with the kind of feverish fan anticipation that has encircled LUCKY STREET, the full-length debut by Tallahassee, Florida melodic rockers Go Radio. But then again, none of those other groups have Jason Lancaster at the helm.

The Go Radio singer/songwriter, who’s been crafting unflinchingly honest, breathtakingly beautiful music since venturing out on his own in 2007, boasts arguably the most goosebump-inducing combination of raw vocal talent and songwriting prowess in rock today. Backed by a gifted band with two stellar EPs under their belts, Lancaster and Go Radio are only just beginning to explore the seemingly endless potential for their mind-blowing creations.

The band--which also includes bassist Matt “BURNS” Poulos, drummer Steven Kopacz and guitarist Alex Reed--immediately turned heads with the release of their self-released EP Welcome To Life in 2008, which bowled over listeners with its poignant, heartfelt lyrics and irresistible melodies. Attracting the attention of Fearless Records, the band inked a deal with the label, releasing the band’s second EP, Do Overs And Second Chances, in 2010. The EP, which featured the stunning ballad “Goodnight Moon,” landed at #8 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, going on to sell more than 15,000 copies in the U.S. In that span the group has toured extensively, heading out on high-profile runs with A Day To Remember, Secondhand Serenade and the Fearless Friends Tour with Mayday Parade among others. Despite the early success, 2011 promises to be the band’s most pivotal moment to date.

Tapping the legendary Tim O’Heir (The All-American Rejects, Hot Rod Circuit, The Starting Line, Say Anything) to man the console for LUCKY STREET, the 13 tracks showcases the producer’s knack for crafting inherently addicting ear candy. The production, and the awe-inspiring musicianship underpinning the songs, serves as an unmatched springboard for Lancaster’s impassioned writing, which he says has taken on even greater personal and philosophical significance this time around.

“This record spans the last four years of my life. It’s really about growing up,” says Lancaster. “I'm 27 years old now, and I've written so many songs about girls, so we collected ourselves to talk about bigger things in life that are important to everyone. There are songs on LUCKY STREET about religion, lack of religion, lack of faith, birth and death. It's really a wide spectrum of topics.”

One of the album’s sheer epiphanies comes at the outset, with the epic title track “Lucky Street.” Over a dense cloud of swirling overdriven guitars and pulsing rhythms, Lancaster shares a surreal, apocalyptic vision on a Manhattan street, where in the face of imminent destruction the true questions of life, death and regret demand answering. Although the song was written a year ago, the band believes that only now can such a sweeping work be given proper treatment.

“It's about a dream I had: I was in New York City, on LUCKY STREET, watching the end of the world. It was such a vivid, colorful dream that I got up the next morning and wrote the story, and when we got home from tour and I started looking back on it, I wrote the song,” shares Lancaster. “We all felt like the end of the world was kind of a heavy topic for our band at the time, so we decided to shelve it. We weren't ready to give it justice, so we wanted to wait until we really could.”
