Rad Max - "Flix from '86"
Photo by Justin Hawthorne The newest song from Portland, OR's Rad Max won't be mistaken for high art. But sometimes, especially now, you just want a fun song. "Flix from '86" is literally about movies that came out in 1986. It's filled with references from Top Gun, Three Amigos, Little Shop of Horrors, Chopping Mall , and a ton more. Maybe I'm showing my age, but I have such an intense nostalgia for the vast majority of movies they mention, so I'm already sold. Plus, it's just a fun alt-rock song. It's very silly, but the song is the same kind of escapism that the movies referenced provided, and couldn't we all use a little of that right now? You can watch the video for "Flix from '86" below. Straight to Video , the debut album from Rad Max, will be out April 10. You can pre-order a copy here . For more on Rad Max, check them out on Facebook and Twitter .
