Radar Bros.

The Radar Bros. are a slowcore indie rock outfit out of Los Angeles, CA consisting of Jim Putnam (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Jeff Palmer (guitar), Steve Goodfriend (drums) and Senon Williams (bass). Jim Putnam is the son of Bill Putnam, founder of Universal Audio and widely considered to be the father of modern music recording. He founded both Universal Recordings and United Western Recorders. Jim was a former guitarist and frontman for Medicine before starting the Radar Bros. and currently has a side project called Mt. Wilson Repeater. The debut self-titled album is due to be re-released in April 2008 on the Eastern Fiction label. Senon Williams also plays in Dengue Fever.

The band has released five full length records, including their fifth full-length album, "Auditorium," which was released in January 2008 on the Merge Records label. They have headlined tours across the United States, Canada and Europe.

Jim Putnam has recorded all of the Radar Bros. albums and the Mt. Wilson Repeater release in his studio, Skylab.
