Rowland S. Howard, “Dead Radio”

Posted by Bono on August 31, 2010


Enjoy one of rock’s lesser-known Aussie legends Rowland S. Howard. This is his song “Dead Radio” (from his album “Teenage Snuff Film”) set to pictures of himself. The song at the end is a clip of “Ave Maria” from Rowland’s latest (and probably last) album “Pop Crimes.” Rowland S. Howard was (and still is) a legendary musician (and my all-time favorite). Unfortunately, he passed away December 30, 2009. This video is dedicated to him. All music and photos in this video are property of the rightful owners. I do not intend to sell, claim as my own, or make any profit from the copyrighted material used in this video. Music was purchased legally (from the record companies themselves). If you are interested in having this music to listen to elsewhere, please purchase it legally and support the musicians and record companies involved. Rest in peace, Rowland S.

    Wow, I love this song. his voice and his guitar playing – wonderful. I have a lot of The Birthday Party recently hearing to see the vernacular means “rest in peace,” but I never realized he died was so short. Shame. But a great legacy he left behind is.

    I just have a lot to say, but I keep my own advice, I would like to spit it out, but I do not want to talk with your mouth full

    Blessed is this poet’s genius guitarist, singer, writer, Romeo Angel dark to see in concert once – thought it would be more shows. . . He would allow as much in his last year as his health – and make no mistake, it is Brilliant! – “As long as a soldier … We’re deep into the Dutch … I miss ya ’so much …” By Rowland’s “Pop Crimes’ ~
