A conversation With Charlie Calv from Radio Exile
 
 


Radio Exile is a powerhouse melodic rock band with pure, honest, straight ahead conviction and
soul. Their debut cd, Simply entitled ,Radio Exile, is a master class in concentrated riffs,
harmonious vocals and hard rocking tempos. This is one of those unexpected hit albums that
you can never stop playing. Every song is a gem of genuine classic songwriting.
 When asked if they recording together as a group or file shared like so many of their peers,
keyboardist, Charlie Calv explained.


" We wanted to get guys from different backgrounds and generations and throw them in a
room together and see what happens. The intent from the beginning was to make a record the
old fashioned way. We rehearse together and we go into the studio together. Not too many
records are done like this these days.
Calv noted further how involved the band is during the video production especially for the first
release.

" The director was fantastic. I actually went out and scouted the location. We had an idea of what we
wanted it to look like. Kind of gritty looking. It worked out well for us.



 Calv expressed their desire to tour but at this time it might be difficult.

"Our schedules are crazy. We are looking at some festival dates towards the end of the year. One
here in the states and one overseas.
When asked if their was any band he would love to jam with, Calv replied.
"The Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl. They put out some great records."

If you are a fan of classic, melodic rock then you must pick up a copy of this cd. Radio Exile is
one of those bands that echoes in your head hours after you finish playing it.


Radio Exile is:

 Chandler Mogel / Lead and Backing Vocals
 Charlie Calv / Piano, Keyboards
 Jimmy Leahey / Guitars, Backing Vocals
 Kenny Aaronson / Bass
  Dave Anthony / Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals

LOVEBITES interview for CRY OF THE WOLF MAGAZINE Answered by miho, bass guitar player 1) Take us through the writing process I always write riffs first and make a basic demo, then start adding arrangement to complete a song. 2) Does everyone contribute Our guitarlist mi-ya and myself, along with another songwriter outside of the band usually write music/melody. Each of us brings own music to the table and each band member arrange their own part to complete the music. As for the lyrics, asami and myself write all of our songs. But each band member is a great song-writer, we are going to play other member’s songs as well in the near future. 3) What are the rehearsals like. Do you have set jam times When we start rehearsing for a tour/show, we first decide how much time we want to/can put into each song and concentrate on bettering the performance one by one. And we play from top to the bottom of our set list for a several times. 4) What makes the perf...

Arch / Matheos reveals details for new album, 'Winter Ethereal'; launches video for first single, "Straight and Narrow" In progressive metal circles, the names of guitarist Jim Matheos and vocalist John Arch are spoken with due reverence. With the former having been a driving force in Fates Warning for thirty-five years, and the latter the original front-man of that band, they also have a single seminal work under the Arch / Matheos banner, 2011's Sympathetic Resonance . In 2019, they have reunited to follow that record up with Winter Ethereal , a more stylistically varied and perhaps deeper collection that explores a lot of sonic territory over the course of nine immer...
