On April 28, 2017, Adam Silvestri — who has been touring and recording as Radiator King since 2011 — will release his latest album, A Hollow Triumph After All. Silvestri, whose output has been compared to that of Tom Waits and Chuck Ragan, states, “I’m drawn to telling stories of working-class people who embody some sort of integrity. I’m always trying to find the underdog — the person who’s struggling or fighting for something. You try to put yourself in their shoes, but what you’re really looking for when you’re writing is where the point of connection lies — the essence of what makes these characters and their stories important to us, to our culture.”

Above, you can stream the track “Too Mean to Die,” premiering at VerbicideMagazine.com. Radiator King’s tour dates follow.
