Sidecar Radio is a six legged bombastic juggernaut of rock, armed with dynamic grooves in each holster, and hook laden melodies strapped across the chest.
It was born in Portland, Maine, in 2002, when singer/songwriter Christian Hayes began playing his material on the Northeast college circuit, under his own name. He soon joined up with Corey Tibbetts on bass, and they became the Element. Drummer Jason Stewart was not far behind.
As time progressed, so did the band's sound, and the Element became Sidecar Radio: A louder, energetic hand grenade of rock, streamlined into the unique sound that is the band's trademark. Ruckus-filled live shows had made them a favorite not only in their hometown of Portland, Maine, but all over New England. Now, years later, Sidecar has evolved into a finely-tuned, hard hitting machine of iron-clad work ethic and infectious, charged, dynamic songwriting and live performances.
2007’s Static EP helped the band explode locally, thanks to commercial radio support of their debut single, ‘Dog Days’. Years later the song would be named to WCYY’s (Citadel Broadcasting) 'Top 1000 Alternative Rock Songs Of All Time'. Follow up records Wave Principle (2008) , Dreadnought Cosmonaut (2009) and Guillotine Mouth (2011) were breakout years for the band, as they cemented their status within the northeast.
Sidecar Radio is backed by a rabid, ever growing, fan base, amorously titled the ‘Sidecar Family’. The band shows a constant appreciation and connection to the fans, and the fans feel connected to the band. It is this relationship between artist and listener that becomes contagious and infectious, and these days, the Sidecar Family is growing faster than ever, and a solid, grassroots foundation is starting to take form. The Sidecar Family is just getting started…
