If you're like me, when you hear a really good and/or unique mainstream band, you often think "Man, I wish there was a Christian band like that." One example of this is The Postal Service, an ambient emotronic band who debuted in 2003 - very high-quality music, and no one quite like them in the Christian industry. But Christian music fans looking for something like them can breathe a sigh of relief. PlayRadioPlay! is finally here.

Though it's only a 6-song EP, it's one that demands countless listens. "Bad Cops Bad Charities" wastes no time getting right into the electronic music, letting the listener know what he is getting into. And vocalist and lyricist Daniel Hunter doesn't seem shy about his feelings and opinions, using a somewhat risky line like "The big stars that crash cars and get paid to say lines and pay fines and get laid." The next song, "Complement Each Other Like Colors," is your typical "I want you back" emo song, with not-so-typical beats behind it. "Confines of Gravity" is a fun, upbeat song, but gets a little repetitous near the end, and doesn't keep one's attention very well. I drifted off and forgot that I was even listening to anything.

The second half of the EP starts with "At This Particular Moment In Time," where he longs for an older girl, and then we get into some potentially controversial material. "Even Fairy Tale Characters Would Be Jealous," musically, is probably the best song on the album. A catchy piano fused with a fast pace techno beat makes this a highlight of the album, but the lyrics seem a bit confusing. While he says on his MySpace that he is straight edge (he doesn't smoke, drink, do drugs, or have casual sex) and has stated openly in a interview that he is proudly a Christian and a virgin, this song says "17 and running up the stairs my baby bear, 7 lonely hours that I've been without a shower until you and I meet in the bathroom with the water on, steaming up the room with little but a towel on, and you are my high, you are my high just like, a joint or two just hangin out the window in September on the 28th, I'll be dethroned and sent to clean up my act, 4 months in a penitentiary where I can read and think I'll make it home." One can only wonder if it's some kind of symbolism, or perhaps something from his past he is recalling.

The last song on the EP is a cover of The Killers' hit song, "Mr. Brightside." A fine choice of song to cover, though most likely a little too early to cover it, as it was just released 3 or 4 years ago. It starts off really well, but the second verse (which in the original song is just the first verse repeated) is somewhat sloppy, and not true to the original, but still a decent attempt.

A couple of the songs do have their low points, but all in all, it's a very good official debut for the teen musician. The Frequency EP is very addicting, and leaves the listener sitting and waiting for the full-length, which is allegedly due sometime early 2008. The EP is a must-have for any music lover looking for something equaling the sound and quality of The Postal Service or Hellogoodbye.
