Radioactivity recently announced an upcoming album entitled "Time Won't Bring Me Down" and today they released a new single from the LP entitled "Analog Ways"......

Recorded over a long period of time and released ten full years (!) after their last LP (Silent Kill, 2015), here is the eagerly awaited 3rd LP! Nobody was really worried about Radioactivity dropping the ball after all this time. Jeff Burke’s track record (The Marked Men, The Reds, The Potential Johns, Lost Balloons, etc etc) speaks for itself, and has for over 25 years at this point.

"I had enough of modern life. Can I not go on back to my analog ways" With that line, Jeff Burke sets the tone for one of the most intimate and unexpected songs from Radioactivity’s new album, Time Won’t Bring Me Down.

“Analog Ways” works on two levels: it’s a reflection on distance and disconnection, how modern life and digital communication can quietly pull people apart, and at the same time, it’s a statement of purpose. A return to warmth, sincerity, and the raw, human sound of analog recording.

Featuring Yusuke Okada, the Japanese-born Brooklyn artist and Burke’s partner in Lost Balloons, the song takes on a softer, more luminous tone.

It’s a surprising turn for Radioactivity, warm, melodic, and gently dreamy, showing a new and deeply human side of the band. A small emotional manifesto, and a reminder that sometimes, going back to your analog ways is the only way to truly reconnect. “Analog Ways” is the new single from Time Won’t Bring Me Down, the long-awaited third album by Radioactivity, out October 31, 2025, on Wild Honey Records (UK/EU) and Dirtnap Records (USA).

Like much of Jeff’s songwriting, “Why” strikes with immediacy and precision, sharp melodies wrapped in raw emotion, balancing ferocity and vulnerability. His craft lies in distilling complex feelings into songs that sound both inevitable and uncontainable, capturing the very essence of punk-leaning rock and roll storytelling. 

It’s no exaggeration at all to say that Burke’s songwriting voice is one of the most distinctive, unique, and dare we say best of the 21st century so far. Still, "Time Won’t Bring Me Down" doesn’t just hold its own—it rips. With Mark Ryan (Marked Men, Mind Spiders, O-D-EX) and Daniel Fried + Gregory Rutherford (Bad Sports) in the lineup, these guys burn through eleven tracks in half an hour and leave nothing standing.
