AM Radio: Difference between revisions

AM Radio began in [[1999]], when they recorded a debut album that they couldn't find the support to release. After Ridel unsuccessfully pursued a project entitled [[Peel]], it was Cuomo who helped AM Radio get off the ground in [[2001]]. Cuomo has at times acted as their manager, and in [[2002], the band toured with [[Weezer]] on the [[Dusty West Tour]], [[Japan World Cup Tour]], and the [[Enlightenment Tour]]. In [[2003]], "''[[Radioactive]]''" was released on Elektra Records, supported by singles "[[Taken for a Ride]]" and "[[I Just Wanna Be Loved]]." "Taken For a Ride" was featured on "Smallville," a hit TV series on "The WB" and released on the show's soundtrack. Also in 2003, "Taken for a Ride" was featured on the videogame soundtrack for EA Sports’ John Madden Football 2003. The band received more support from "The WB" when "Taken for a Ride" was featured on an episode of "One Tree Hill." The song also appeared on a television trailer for the FOX feature film "The Girl Next Door" that same year.
