"I've always been infatuated with this band. They seemed to come out of nowhere, release a handful of great unique songs in
'94, then fade away into obscurity. A total mystery band, and pretty much no info to be found about them aside from the
fact that Nick Forté (Rorschach) and Danny Leo (Native Nod) were involved. Their sound is hard to describe, but chances are

if you're into '90s bands like Native Nod, Moss Icon, Indian Summer etc, you'll love this. Although they sound nothing like any
of those bands. They don't really sound like any band i can think of actually. Anyway, they were too short-lived (although
Charles of Gern Blandsten/Rorschach says there's an unreleased RTS album sitting in his closet, which gives me chest pains),
and totally overlooked. According to my ears, Radio To Saturn should have been huge. I remember playing the song "Young
Friends" (from the split with Van Pelt) for a co-worker back sometime in the mid '90s when the record had just come out, and
he said it sounded like "punk for pre-schoolers". That always stuck with me. It fits the track perfectly.
So, if you've never heard Radio To Saturn before, do yourself a favor and check it out. Songs like "Piedmont", "Rumble Seat",
and my personal favorite, "(She Likes The Part) About Wolves" are just classics of the genre. Whatever genre that is."
