## Musical Genre & Influences[edit]

Radio Romeo's sound can best be described as "Eclectic Classic Rock & Roll" since their musical repertoire references the catchy Pop melodies of the early 1970s while blending those with the Hard Rock guitar-driven music of the late 1980s "Sunset Strip-era". Radio Romeo differentiated their sound by peppering the hooks in their original material with Delta Blues riffs similarly and in the manner that these were used so successfully by The Rolling Stones decades earlier.

RADIO ROMEO: Primary Musical Influences This unique musical twist was not lost on the legendary Music Producer Andy Johns who'd produced the greatest albums of music ever released by The Rolling Stones including the hallowed "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile on Main Street" in the 1970s and much of that band's other work during that notable period.

RADIO ROMEO: Additional Musical Influences Additionally, the band's repertoire on their eponymously titled debut album 'Radio Romeo' was influenced by some of the more notable recording artists of the 1950s, 60's and 70's which also included The Who, David Bowie, AC/DC, Ramones, Bryan Ferry, Buddy Holly, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Otis Redding and Sam Cook.
