So, basically, it’s a Radon song. Stuck in your head after the first listen, the track leaves you desperate to spill your drink and scream along as soon as the crescendo of “heading weeest” kicks you in the gut. Never getting the chance to one day yell the line, “I’d thank you all to go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut” at a live show would be a travesty. Bringing up the rear are country/folk punks Worthwhile Way from Tokushima, Japan. Their entry “After the Rain Comes Sunshine” is just as posi and upbeat a rallying cry as its title implies. A bright, shiny harmonica melody takes your hand and leads you into the happiest, bounciest folk-infused anthem to ever take form on either side of the Pacific. With a little bit of twang and a whole lot of heart, the track is essentially one great big musical smile. Toshima’s assurance that “everything is going to be all right” officially needs to be on repeat forever for anyone who lives in a gloomy climate. –Kelley O’Death • Radon: Dave Rohm - guitar, vocals Bill Clower - drums Mike Collins - bass Recorded 2014 by Rob McGregor at Goldentone, Gainesville, Florida.

WORTHWHILE WAY "After the Rain Comes Sunshine" * This is a split-release with EAGER BEAVER RECORDS in Japan. (They have GOLD vinyl, which WW should have at their show during THE FEST. If you are an uber-nerd who lives in the USA and does not get a gold one at The Fest, we might have like 5 or 10 gold ones. But I cannot promise it. Just bug Matt. Or order three copies and we'll see what we can do.)
