LiveDaily Sessions Podcast: Radar Bros.

The Radar Bros. an LA-based indie quartet, hinges on the only permanent member, Jim Putnam, whose father, Bill Putnam, is considered to be the mastermind behind modern audio recording. Despite the constant questions about his legacy, the junior Putnam doesn't appear to feel any pressure to follow in his dad's footsteps.

"I think I had a job there once painting one of the studios when I was thirteen or fourteen. They had these video games in the lounge and I was more interested in that at the time."

Since then, Putnam has created five albums with the Radar Bros. in his personal studio/garage. The most recent, "Auditoriums," dropped in January to rave reviews and led to a quick European tour, followed by a West Coast tour that the quartet just wrapped up.
