Hailing from Janesville, the power-pop trio So So Radio encompasses the in-between mentality of Midwest music with their adoption of both East Coast indie pangs and sunny West Coast vibes. Their first record, Dustcovers, dropped early this year and features weighty lyrics while preserving the be-bopping minimalism of modern Spoon tracks. At the beginning of 2011, So So Radio scored a big gig opening for pop-rockers The Hold Steady at Turner Hall for New Year's Eve. They have also gained national exposure with placement of their first single, "Hospital Food," on ABC's "Scrubs."
