Wasting no time and opening the album with the high-octane track Victory, Radkey has created their own walk-out song, the song also received an official video today. Taking Mickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie, now public domain Disney content, and fusing it with works of their own imagination, the animated video further fuels the band’s unrelenting and provocative nature.
Today, Kansas City’s punk band of brothers Radkey have independently released their new album, Bedroom Sand. Never abandoning the scrappy DIY nature that raised them, they called on the relationships they’ve made throughout their time as a band and connected with a like-minded professor at Syracuse University. During the summer break of 2025, the unlikely group snuck onto campus to record in the School of Music‘s state-of-the-art studio. The result is eight songs of unyielding defiance, and the story of a band doing whatever it takes to make the music happen. Across the album, Radkey is honest about their self-doubt, but bounce back even harder as they reference all the small things that make them singular.
“When we were recording or going on tour, we’d always watch the Foo Fighters ‘Back and Forth’ documentary to get us pumped up. In that documentary, Dave mentions that he wanted to write an amazing set opener. So we’ve always wanted to write that ultimate opening song for our sets. We came up with the idea to do a song about the Kansas City Chiefs that’s just about kicking ass and winning. It gets you in the perfect headspace for a show.”
Up next, Falling Out of Grace comes barrelling in with Hüsker Dü and Squeeze influences throughout the instrumentation and storytelling. Elsewhere on the record, Welcome To The Backyard takes the classic punk rock song formula and runs with it. Strays is an ode to the band’s many rescue cats and any outsider looking for their group. The title track’s driving guitar riff was inspired by The Cars, as Radkey mixes in references to the Manga series One Piece. Radkey will be tour throughout the remainer of 2026, you can view Radkey‘s tour dates and purchase tickets here, the band will also be appearing in the Who’s Watching movie and soundtrack.
