新激进分子乐队,这只奇怪的摇滚乐队成员只有一个——Gregg Alexander
成立于1997年,他们的音乐受到了70年代的灵魂
乐和放克的影响。谈谈Gregg,很小就开始接触灵魂
和摇滚,同时他竟然学了一手好电吉它(时年12岁),
后来他在美国各地旅行,97年在LA组成了新激进分子乐队,
并跟MCA签约。然后出版了惊世大碟
Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too推出,
惊动乐界,这只神秘乐队已经在1999年解散。

The more things change in music, the more they stay the same. The alternative rockers of the 1990s may have caused so-called corporate rockers like Poison and Bon Jovi to become less visible, but at the same time, the worship of 1970s baby boomer culture was alive and well among post-baby boomers. In 1998, one of the most memorable examples of 1970s-flavored music came from the New Radicals. Although Radicals singer/leader Gregg Alexander was quick to espouse a left-wing point of view, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too doesn't beat listeners over the head with a sociopolitical agenda. Nor is the CD an exercise in angry 1990s angst-rock. Rather, Alexander's band is a congenial and highly melodic throwback to the rock and blue-eyed soul of the early to mid-1970s. Alexander's vocals have a very Mick Jagger-ish quality, but while the Rolling Stones were a rock & roll band that occasionally dabbled in soul and funk, the Radicals favor pop-rock that is consistently mindful of classic Northern soul. Hook-happy offerings like "Jehovah Made This Whole Joint for You," "Flowers," and "Mother We Just Can't Get Enough" give the impression that Alexander holds the Stones and the artists of Motown Records in equally high regard. Without question, Brainwashed was among the more promising releases of late 1998. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
