Earned Secure (EP 2026)

the end of radio

Lofi Indie Grunge Pop Rock

Christmas just passed and often equals troubles. With partners or family some things have to be shaken off. Because basically everyone just wants to be save. Topics addressed on the EP „earned secure“. 

The title itself describes someone with secure relationship pattern acquired through long-term effort. Like the statue in the episode „Papa’s Got A Brand New Excuse“ of „The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air“, the cover offers protection, with the hands fold around. With warm colors, it invites to the sound space of the end of radio. 

After releasing „Vacuum Dog“ and „whatevers and neverminds“ by the solids, here come the next compact thirteen minutes of comprehensive grungy music. The first and only single (with lyric video) „steam trains“ supports a certain nostalgic feeling, thinking of Western movies or still existing train of this kind like in Prater or Bregenzerwald. 

Like on the rails, the song chugs along its way, swining the body in a comforting way. The raw guitar like Conny Ochs likes to use and distorted voice carry through the record, as ‚for a while, you get to talk about your life‘ as „ad break“ tells. The heart of the six-piece marks „where you’ll find me now“. 

It is the longest and most lovely tune and „results“ in Lagwagon Punk. Listening closely, familiar lines can be found in „pomology“ like from „American Pie“. Finally the „swamp“ awaits to fade out with fine chords. In this way, the end of radio can remind of likes of Ivery. 

Melodies, thoughtful lyrics and a soft roughness, fragile yet strong. And soon to experience live on stage at the release show at Arena Beisl Erdberg, Ums Eck Pub Waidhofen/Ybbs, Church International Pub Vienna, Club Wakuum Graz, Neuer Kirchenwirt Julbach, Engel Dornbirn and Prometheus Innsbruck.
