Analog Rebellion

Analog Rebellion

PlayRadioPlay! is a one-man electronic/pop band from Aledo, Texas started by Daniel Hunter in December 2005. He began creating music in his garage, but it was not until he discovered Fruity Loops in Music Theory class at Aledo High School that he began to create electronic based music. After rapidly gaining popularity on MySpace, Hunter signed with Island/Stolen Transmission midway through his senior year of high school.

Hunter makes his music with Propellerheads Reason, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and various other electric and acoustic instruments to create an upbeat, dancy, and lyrically simple style of music. He writes, performs, and records all of his own music. The sound can be compared to The Postal Service, hellogoodbye, and other electronic acts. PlayRadioPlay! released an EP entitled The Frequency on April 27, 2007, which debuted at #6 on the Billboard Electronic chart and #27 on the Heatseekers chart. A full-length album is underway and the release is scheduled for March 18, 2008.

PlayRadioPlay! released at least 27 songs before being signed as well as several tracks, both new and remixed, after being signed to Island/Def Jam. Some songs have specific release dates, while it is unclear when others went up on his MySpace/PureVolume. Hunter, in an interview with AbsolutePunk.net, stated that "Let It Shine" is the first song where he used electronic effects, but "Jello" is the first PlayRadioPlay! song. He also mentions that he made acoustic tracks before going into electronica.
