Alternative garage rock trio Desert Fire‘s debut single, ‘R.A.D.I.O.’, is out now across all major streaming platforms, marking the band’s first official recorded outing.
Featuring Stevie Reds (guitar, vocals), Roachy (bass) and Rachie Reds (drums), this Melbourne, Australian outfit kick the door in with raw rock ‘n’ roll urgency and garage rock swagger.
While the band is built for volume, sweat and stages that feel too small, lyrically the track leans into ambition, image and expectation, giving the song a tongue-in-cheek undercurrent beneath its punch. That friction adds weight to a debut that hits hard on first listen but lingers well after.
“We wanted our first track to land like a punch but still have something simmering underneath,” the band declared. “‘R.A.D.I.O.’ felt like the right place to start, it’s got the energy, the hook and the attitude that define Desert Fire.”
The single was recorded, mixed and produced by Ricki Rae at Lighthill Sound Recording in Riddells Creek, Victoria, mastered by Bill Skibbe at Third Man Mastering in Detroit, and pressed as a limited-edition 7″ at Third Man Pressing. ‘R.A.D.I.O.’ also features guest backing vocals by Jackie Yamada and Ramonda Carrico.
