Информация о артисте
Группа была основана в 1995 году школьными товарищами Элином Альмередом (Elin Almered) и Йоханом Дункансоном (Johan Duncanson), который назвал группу также как и бензоколонку, которая позже стала радиомастерской. Мастерская называлась "Radioavdelningen" (что соответствует The Radio Department на английском). Однако, Альмеред и Дункансон вскоре перестали играть вместе и приостановили деятельность группы. Группа была повторно основана тремя годами позже, в 1998, когда Дункансон начал работать с Мартином Ларсоном (Martin Larsson).
Осенью 2001 бас-гитаристка Лиза Карлберг (Lisa Carlberg), девушка Ларсона, Пер Блумгрен (Per Blomgren), барабанщик и Дэниел Тджадер (Daniel Tjader), клавишник, присоединились к группе.
Позже в 2001, группа отправила свои записи в журнал Sonic. Группа получила положительные отзывы. Записи группы были компакт-диске, который выходил вместе с журналом. Таким образом Labrador Records познакомилась с творчеством группы. Группа подписала контракт со студией. На сегодняшний день Labrador Records один из лучших шведских инди-лейблов. Пер Блумгрен покинул группу до выпуска альбома Lesser Matters. Лиза Калрберг ушла после выхода мини-альбома This Past Week. Согласно их вебсайту, группа решила использовать цифровые записи ударных и заявила, что для их нового альбома "они решили работать в новом направлении, которое не требует участника бас-гитариста".
Группа получила широкое признание после трех композиций ("Pulling Our Weight" из Pulling Our Weight EP, "I Don't Like It Like This" из This Past Week EP и "Keen on Boys" из Lesser Matters), которые были использованы в качестве саундтреков к фильму Софии Копполы Мария-Антуанетта.
В начале 2006 года был издан второй альбом Pet Grief. Искаженное гудение, которое украшало их дебютные альбомы, теперь было заменено синтезатором. Альбом не получил распространения в остальной части Европы, включая Великобританию, до конца 2006г. Из-за небольшого количества туров, не было ажиотажа вокруг нового альбома. NME оценила Pet Grief в 7 из 10, другие же журналы не были так благосклонны. Но Pet Grief обрел популярность среди возрастающего числа фанатов во всем мире благодаря Интернету.
К концу 2006 года новая композиция "We Made the Team" была издана как 100-й выпуск на Labrador. Эта же композиция была финальной на диске, который Labrador Records выпустила в подборке ста записей. Хотя все туры по Великобритании, кроме одного, были отмены, считают что группа приступила к работе над новым альбомом.
Предпоследний альбом The Radio Dept. «Lesser Matters» считается классикой европейского поп-рока, за него группа получила более 10 престижных премий, среди которых приз NME «Лучшая пластинка года». The Radio Dept. является одной из самых любимый поп-рок команд в России.
Творчество группы связывают с такими жанрами как инди-поп, шугейзинг, тви-поп. Также их сравнивают с Pet Shop Boys, My Bloody Valentine и Cocteau Twins.[3]
Согласно веб-сайту группы, влияние на творчество оказали Шарль Азнавур, St. Ettienne, Broadcast, Фрэнк Синатра, Joy Division, Pet Shop Boys, Chet Baker, Fennesz, Ник Дрейк, Кевин Роуленд, Prefab Sprout, Paddy McAloon, Junior Boys, Orange Juice, Kraftwerk, Neu!, Джонатан Ричмэн, The Avalanches и The Pale Fountains.

The Radio Dept. is a Swedish pop band signed to Labrador Records. They have released three full length albums, and a series of singles and EPs. The band originated in Lund, Sweden.
In 1995, The Radio Dept. was formed by Elin Almered and Johan Duncanson (who were old school friends). The name was taken from a gas station/radio repair shop in Lund, Sweden, which had a large sign with the name Radioavdelningen, ("The Radio Department" in Swedish) hanging outside their shop.
Since 1995 members have been coming and going and at some points there has never really been a Radio Department at all.
Martin Carlberg and Johan Duncanson started playing together in 1998 and decided to use the name The Radio Dept. Since then the band has done lots of gigs and lots of recordings. The Radio Dept. recorded 4-tracks in friends' living rooms or at home, in smelly warehouse, in demo studios with blinking fluorescent lightning and at schools.
In the autumn of 2001 Lisa Carlberg and Per Blomgren (Bass & drums respectively), joined the band and they started rehearsing in the way bands so often do. Soon afterwards they were all joined by Daniel Tjader on the keyboards. Their recordings were sent to the music magazine Sonic and got a nice review. They were also on the free CD sampler that comes with the magazine. That's where Labrador Records discovered and learned to love the band. Now they're a part of Swedish indie label, Comings and goings
Original band member, Elin Almered, left the band before the recording of The Radio Dept.'s debut (lesser matters), but still made an appearance singing vocals for "Strange Things Will Happen".
Per Blomgren, Drummer, left the band before the release of Lesser Matters. The band opted instead for digital assistance with regards to drums & percussions for their songs.
Lisa Carlberg, bassist, departed from the Radio Dept soon after the release of "This past week EP". The band no longer felt the need for a member that solely specialized in bass. The band was taking a new direction and preparing for their second album, "Pet Grief", which wouldn't require a member that played bass guitar.
The current line up of the band is:
Johan Duncanson (Guitar & Vocals), Martin Carlberg(Guitar) and Daniel Tjäder (Keyboards & Synth) (2006).

Record Labels.
Slottet:
Created in 2001, this is the Radio Dept's original label. Created & managed by the band themselves. They published and distributed their own recordings in order to spread their music to the world.
The "Against The Tide EP" & coveted "Annie Laurie EP" were both released on this label in 2002.
At sporadic moments over the years, whenever the band have wanted to release something quickly or for free, they'd do so through the Slottet label (e.g. bachelor Kisses in 2008).
Labrador :
After the success of the self released records and some glittering reviews in local publications, several major labels came calling. The Radio Dept. rejected most of these offers and instead signed with Labrador records. Although the band don't consider themselves connected ideologically or musically with Labrador and the other bands on the label, they have much respect for the label which has officially become the home of The Radio Dept.
Shelflife records:
Shelflife are an american indie label that operate on a similar philosophy to that of Sarah Records. They select highly innovative, creative & melodic bands and offer them transatlantic distribution. Several labrador bands had achieved success through shelflife, so it seemed an obvious choice to use them again for the distribution of 'Lesser Matters'. No futher Radio Dept records were released through shelflife.
Rex records:
Rex records was an London based experimental indie label started by an ex-XL employee. The aim was to release demos and promote leftfield indie music. Only two Radio Dept. records were released on Rex, Why Won't You Talk About It and the rare Liebling 7".
XL Recordings:
During 2004/05, XL funded, distributed and promoted The Radio Dept.
During this short partnership 4 records were released. Lesser Matters, Where Damage Isn't Already Done, Why Won't You Talk About It? and Ewan. A short european tour was organised for the band as well as lots of press and an appearance on an XL compilation with the likes of Ratatat & MIA.
Track & Field Records:
Track & Field are another London based record label that took a chance on The Radio Dept.
In 2006 Track & Field were employed to distribute Pet Grief in the UK. They also promoted the band and planned for an extensive UK tour. This plan was abandoned and a series of special one-off London shows were organised to supplant the tour.
Pony Canyon:
After years as an experienced distributor of DVD's & kids toys, Pony Canyon, tried their hand at promoting & distributing indie records. So far they've only distributed a special edition of Pet Grief in Japan.
Soundtrack
Three tracks by the Radio Dept. have been featured on the Sophia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette (2006). They are: Pulling our Weight, Keen on Boys, I Don't Like It Like This.
