Radical Something

Lagemann and Costanzo met while attending UC Berkeley as football teammates. Lagemann began his music careers recording hip-hop songs in his college apartment; Costanzo was a DJ.</ref> In February 2011, Costanzo met Josh Hallbauer at a New York City recording studio.[3] In their first session together, they wrote the song "Be Easy" (Feat. Kinetics), and uploaded an acoustic video of the record to Costanzo's YouTube page.[4] The video was seen by photographer, Bruce Weber, who immediately hired the trio to act in and produce a short soundtrack for his short, "Don't Steal The Jacket"—a 24 minute film for Moncler Jacket's 2012 Winter campaign.[5] When filming wrapped Costanzo, and Hallbauer chose to cancel their flights home in favor of recording more songs together. The trio spent 2 weeks at a home studio in Boca Raton, Florida, finishing 7 songs, and ultimately deciding to form the band, Radical Something.

The newly formed group finished 8 more songs in the following months, and released their debut album "We Are Nothing" on September 20, 2011. Led by singles "Be Easy", "California", "Escape" and "Long Hair Don't Care", We Are Nothing, was downloaded over 50,000 times and reached #9 on the iTunes Alternative Albums chart.[6][7]

On February 26, 2012, Radical Something released their second project No Sweat, a six song EP. No Sweat reached #6 on the iTunes overall album chart and #33 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.[8][9] In Spring 2012, Radical Something's first national headlining tour brought the trio to 25 major cities and college towns in the US. Following the No Sweat Tour, the band had supporting performances for Slightly Stoopid, Capital Cities Asher Roth and SOJA.[10][11][12]

In Summer 2012, Radical Something announced "The Summer Of Rad", a weekly release series spanning 13 weeks from June through August.[13] The Summer Of Rad was deemed a viral success garnering over 500,000 song downloads and millions of online streams.[14]

On May 5, 2013 they released "We Were Just Kids", the lead single from their upcoming album Ride It Out entering the top 100 on iTunes Alternative single charts and reaching #1 on the Twitter Music Emerging Artist Chart, holding this position for a full week.[15]

Ride It Out, was released on September 2, 2013 debuting at #3 on the iTunes Alternative Album Charts.[16]

In support of the album, the group took their Ride It Out Tour to 30 U.S. cities. The tour featured opening acts Outasight and Down With Webster. In September they then joined Timeflies and Sammy Adams on the Warning Signs Tour for 8 concerts across Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina.[17]

The Spring of 2014 saw the group support the EDM act Krewella and hip-hop artist Logic on the Verge Campus tour, which spanned 25 college shows across America. On July 22 the band announced via their Facebook page that they would be joining Matisyahu as direct support on a 50 city North American tour which would run from September 14 through November 14 and reach 30 US States and Canada.[18] On July 28 they released their newest single, "Cali Get Down", which was co-produced by David Kahne and Goodwill & MGI. The music video was released later that week via YouTube.[19]

Radical Something's concert in St.Petersburg, Florida has been uploaded to YouTube later. A live album named after its venue, Jannus Live, was released, shortly after.[20]

Radical Something brought back their Summer of Rad concept from 2012, with 10 songs released over the course of 10 weeks. The first song, "Down South," was released on June 29.[21]
