Radiocalypse is the fourth studio album by American rock band Downplay, released on May 29, 2012.[3] [4] It is the final album with guitarist Trevor Connor before his death in late 2012.[5]
In addition to seven new original songs, the album contains rerecordings of two older Downplay songs.[6] "Save Me" was previously released on their 2009 EP Rise. Fall. Repeat.[7] "Sleep" was originally released on their 2007 album A Day Without Gravity, and also on Rise. Fall. Repeat. with a different arrangement.[8] The arrangement on Radiocalypse is closer to the arrangement on Rise. Fall. Repeat.
The album also includes Downplay's first recorded cover song, "Talking in Your Sleep" by The Romantics.
"Hated You From Hello" was used by WWE in 2011.[9]
A music video for "Where Did You Go" was filmed at Downplay's show at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, OH on June 2, 2012.[10]
A song called "Dark on Me" was recorded during the sessions for Radiocalypse, but was ultimately not included. The song was rearranged by lead singer Dustin Bates for his new project Starset, and appears on their debut album Transmissions. The original Downplay version resurfaced on YouTube in 2016.
