Radiator King does the same thing with his own music, although he’s now graduated from punk to Americana – bringing a whole new sonic approach to the table with the table, with his track, ‘The Guns You Pawned’.

Review: Nahko – ‘My Name Is Bear’

His first solo work, ‘My Name Is Bear’ is in essence a prequel to his work with the People, and comprises 16 tracks of music and “interludes”, mostly written between the ages of 18 and 21, with some a little later. The interludes are actual unedited tape recordings of his raw thoughts. The end result is a pleasing insight into the mind of a very thoughtful and wise man.
