The Remedials On The Radio

Hey kids! If you missed 99.3 The Fox Punk-O-Rama Show featuring: Mary-Anne K and Billy Hopeless on Thursday, Sept. 25 2008 then you're a moron! What's wrong with you? You don't like punk rock? You should be listening to this show every Thursday! You don't wanna hear The Remedials first song being played on the airwaves? If you did catch the show like Gabe of The Remedials (once he was tipped off that a Remedials songs was gonna get played…) you probably sang along and did cartwheels up and down the hallway like an idiot too! Here's the tunes played on Punk-O-Rama Show number 402:

Having a song get played on the radio is always a big deal but it's monumental for a band like The Remedials! They would like to thank
Mary-Anne and Billy Hopeless of 99.3 The Fox Punk-O-Rama Show for playing one of their tunes and the recognition! People now think The Remedials are a real band (well not so much…). But now The Remedials can cross "Have a song get played on the radio" off their list of things to do! They still have a lot on that list though which include: Do the dishes, take out the trash, do the laundry, etc. The Remedials surprisingly have done a lot in their music career so far and can finally add this to the list. Perhaps they'll finally have a "Seedy Release Show" for their new album or simply just play a show somewhere. But you never know what will happen next with a band like The Remedials…

"That was "Claire Is Clairvoyant" by The Remedials from the album Drop Outta School!" Mary-Anne (Punk-O-Rama)
