Biography

WIRED magazine says about All India Radio: "Since the turn of the 21st century, All India Radio has mashed the ambient-hop signatures of DJ Shadow, Tortoise and Thievery Corporation with the instantly recognizable guitar soundtracking of Ennio Morricone and Angelo Badalamenti. The resulting narcotic musical textures are capable of floating listeners to galaxies far, far away."

All India Radio have released over 8 acclaimed albums since 2000 and their music features regularly in film and television including CSI: Miami, One Tree Hill, Michael Moore's Sicko, Till Human Voices Wake Us (starring Guy Pierce and Helena Bonham Carter), Australia's hit series Bondi Rescue and The Recruits. The band's albums have been released in USA, China, Philippines and Australia.

They were nominated for Australian recording industry award (ARIA) and have collaborated with Steve Kilbey (who wrote the magical US top 20 hit 'Under The Milky Way' - rediscovered by the world in the hit movie 'Donnie Darko’), Graham Lee (The Triffids), Ed Kuepper (The Saints and now Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds guitarist) and David Bridie (Not Drowning Waving) among others.

The band have just released an amazing new animated video Rippled which has gone viral with over 160,000 views. Perez Hilton give it a thumbs up on perezhilton.com: “So. Dang. Rad” he says. Gizmodo.com calls it “The Most Amazing Light Graffiti Video Ever,” and cnet.com.au calls it “Stunning”
