Introducing Radiobot, a dynamic musical ensemble comprising the talented members Brett Scallions, Billy Harvey, and Eddie Wohl. This exciting band has unveiled their original debut single "This World's On Fire" and it's now available on all major music platforms via TLG/Virgin Music Group. The band will release their debut album in Spring 2024!

“At a time when the world certainly feels like it's a mess, we hope listeners will enjoy the comical tongue in cheek lyrics in this song. That, along with the stomp beat, should get your booty shaking and have some fun with it,” says the band.

In regards to the video, the band states, "Billy, Eddie, and I always wanted to see ourselves as cartoons. Making this video was our shining moment to make a dream come true! Glen and Isabella Levanon had the perfect art style to make the treatment we wrote come to life. At a time when the World really is in a bit of a mess, we hope this video can provide a little comedy to lighten the state of things. Enjoy.”

RadioBot is a writing trio consisting of Brett Scallions, Billy Harvey, and Eddie Wohl. They got together for the first time in 2016, when Eddie invited Brett and Billy to his studio for a writing session. Though Brett and Billy had just met, Eddie’s suspicions were spot-on: after just a few days in a room, the trio had three new songs to share. (“It’s On,” “New Best Friend,” and “Rolling On.”) Despite the undeniable chemistry, however, conflicting commitments and touring schedules forced Radiobot into a temporary hiatus shortly thereafter.

Flash forward to 2020. Lockdown. Isolation. Life changed for everyone on the planet. Being in the same room is how music is made…right?!

This time, RadioBot refused to let anything get in their way. The project was revving up again, and even distance proved a surmountable hurdle. With Billy in Nashville and Eddie and Brett both in California, the group decided to pursue the project virtually, via Zoom and FaceTime calls. Their mentality: “never let anyone tell you that you have to be in a room together to write or record an album.” They started writing, and before you know it, they had written—and recorded—18 songs.

The age of the HOME STUDIO.

“Everything starts with a Billy riff,” Brett said of their writing process. “After we establish the main riff of the song, we add more parts as needed, all while creating vocal melodies. Once we have the song arranged, I’ll take it and start laying down the drums. After the drums are the way we want them, I send the drum tracks to Billy, and he starts layering his guitar parts. We just keep adding what is needed until we feel like the song is finished.”
