23: The Dead 60s - Matt McManamon on Riot Radio, breaking America, an unreleased second album, and playing with The Specials

<div> <strong>Matt McManamon </strong>was frontman for ska rockers <strong>The Dead 60s </strong>who had a breakout hit with Riot Radio - a track which gained them success in USA as well as here in the UK. <br> <br> Matt talks us through touring the States, putting together their hit-packed debut - each single went into the top 30 - and the strange circumstances behind their recorded second album never being released... apart from in France! <br> <br> Matt has since gone on to play with The Specials and has a great story about his 'audition' for the band, plus he tells <strong>The Boys in the Band Podcast </strong>the latest on his new solo album which is coming soon... <br> <br> <strong>The Dead 60s fan?
