GET RAD.
news.

11.28.08 i just updated the merch page. i think its a little fucked up
visually, but all the information is correct, so empty your paypal out
and help us pay to finish up the new lp. were back in the studio next
weekend and theres a chance that will wrap it up.

08.21.08 wow, i really dont update this much. keep your eyes on myspace.com
for show & other updates of a consistent nature, but ill try to do better
and keep this site going as well. id rather live in a non-myspace world,
but they have made shit so fucking easy... anyway, weve got some shows
coming up, 4 in one weekend to be exact. we also have some studio time
booked, so maybe well get the 2nd LP out before the end of 2008. time
will tell...

02.08.08 holy fuck! last weekend was fucking amazing! both show were totally
insane. thanks to everyone who came out, rocked out, moshed out & stage dove!
saturday was the best birthday ive ever had. one million thanks to dillinger four,
weekend nachos, brain handle, in defence, protestant, speed freaks & party by the
slice for playing. our next show is the 23rd & its the cml split 7" release show. if you
cant wait till then, ive got it up in the merch section now!!!

01.22.08 winter tour was fun. lots of driving, but we survived. that was a few
weeks ago, but i dont update this enough. does it matter? im not sure anyone
is reading. anyway, new shows are up in the shows section. pretty amazing shows.
were playing with DILLINGER FOUR, CONVERGE, BARONESS... check them out!

11.23.07 hello again. dates for the short winter tour are up. 5 days down to
this is for you fest and back. that means we dont have time to hit every city
down there, so if you wanna see us, youre gonna have to travel to the fest.

09.18.08 the shows with Modern Life is War & Young Widows were a fucking
blast. thanks so much to those dudes for taking us on the road with them and
for everyone that came out and gave the opening band (us) a chance. all of the
shows were rad, but the highlight (and possible lowlight) was getting the PA turned
off on us in cedar falls, ia because we were talking about shitting our pants for
too long. come on, it was a great story!!! not much new news. cml split still isnt
out, but it will someday. were heading south this winter, so get in touch if you want.

07.20.07 i really dont update this a lot. sorry. the split with protestant is out.
bastards united should be out soon. the call me lightning split will be out this
fall, we hope. in other news, tour was rad. we played awesome shows, met cool
people, went swimming, played with dogs, ate good food, saw old friends and to
to top it off, i fractured my wrist, broke a rib and got 4 stitches in my chin. hooray
for skateboard and concret. anyway, i dont update this much, so you can always stay
up to date via myspace. were playing with the subhumans in august and doing a string
of shows with coliseum & modern life is war in september, so that will rule.

04.14.07 most of the new records have been sent out. waiting on the final
touches of the call me lightning split. all should be out in time for our summer
tour (June 22-30th East Coast). theres a chance 2 will be out in time for our show
with PROPAGANDHI (may 24th @ miramar). well see what happens.

02.19.07 the call me lightning record release show was sick. over 400 people
showed up and i think pretty much everyone had a good time. we had a blast
with our light show & bloody basses. ill post pics soon. thanks to wmse and
call me lightning and everyone who came out.

02.12.07 some of you may have heard, but most of you probably haven't. kevin,
the singer of get rad, is moving to minneapolis at the end of february. this doesn't
mean the end of get rad nor are we auditioning new singers, were just going to
pretend that he's away on tour and continue to write new songs. the good news
is that weve got a bunch of shows coming up, so be sure to come out because we
really dont know how often hes going to be able to get back down here.

01.05.07. happy new year!!! i updated the shows page and thats about it. our new
records, all three of them, should be out in february or possibly march. theyve all
been recorded and i think 2 out of three of them have been sent out, so the wheels
are turning.

11.02.06 sorry i dont update this enough. i post the shows & update merch, but
i always forget about the news section. sorry. while i was updating the shows section,
i also added some new pictures and a few flyers. in get rad news, we recorded 3 new
songs for a split 7" with protestant. were going back into the studio in a few weeks to
record tracks for a split 7" with call me lightning and our own 7". all of these should be
out sometime this winter. i promise to update this when theyre out.

08.19.06 the LP & CD are out along with new tshirts and a limited cd-r from
our live on wmse set. tour went fucking amazing and our 22 year old van performed
like a champ. thanks to everyone who made every second of the tour possible. tonight
is our record release show @ the cactus club with call me lightning & nude celebs.
should be fun or as jesse smith would say "GOOD TIMES!!!"

07.02.06 "Say Fuck No To Rules, Man" is now available for preorder from
hyperrealist. $10ppd and it guarantees that you get colored vinyl.

04.28.06 were starting to set up an extremely short east coast tour for
the end of july/early august. exact dates are july 28th through august 4th,
so if you live east of wisconsin and want to help us out with a show, get in touch.
thanks in advance.

04.06.06 weve got two shows coming up while kevin is in town. check
out the shows page for details. the LP is pretty much done. just waiting
to hear back from new line cinema. no joke. it should still be out early this
summer.

02.21.06 the entire Minor Threat covers set is now up on the interent.
you can check out the videos on our media page.

02.15.06 our 1st 21+ show was fucking sick. sure, we were playing
minor threat tunes, but it was off the wall. thanks to everyone who came
out and had fun and to children in heat & the cactus club for letting us play.
you can see some videos from it here. enjoy.

02.01.06 i posted a video from our show in december at valhalla on our
media and myspace pages. nothing else to report. enjoy.

01.29.06 sorry i dont update this more. theres been a lot going on in
our little world, but for some reason i didnt feel like filling you in. first off,
riverwest basement show tonight. its our last all ages milwaukee show for
a long time. secondly, there are a bunch of other shows listed on the shows
page including our 1st chicago show and a show at the cactus club where we
will be doing minor threat covers. i know a bunch of you cant get into the cactus
club, so well figure something out and make it up to you. i promise. think of the
bar show as practice for a better show that will happen in the future. lastly, were
recording our LP in february and its going to be released on hyperrealist records.
hyperrealist is based in savannah, ga and theyve released records by a ton of rad
bands including baroness, circle takes the square and kylesa. our record should
be out by june, which is around the time we will start playing shows again, so
everything is coming up roses in the world of get rad.

01.05.06 the chicago show is kinda up in the air. the venue shut down
and theyre having a hard time find a new venue. i hope it works out, but
im done holding my breath. on a more positive note, were trying to play
as much as possible before kevin leaves, so check out the new shows.

12.23.05 merry christmas all yall. since were caught up in the spirit
of giving and whatnot, we decided to put up a new song on myspace.
its one of 6 songs that kevin recorded vocals for on monday night.
the plan is to rerecord these songs in february along with the 6 from
the demo and a few others that weve written since then and hopefully
put out a LP or something. if youve got some cash to blow and want to
cement your place in hardcore history by releasing our debut LP, get in touch!

12.05.05 last weekend was some fun shit!!! it was our 1st weekend
trip and we had an amazing time. thanks to everyone who made it
possible - kodan armada, wrong day to quit, brandon & caroline...

will be back soon, but then will leave again only to
