Cultural Facts:

1. Their First Major-Label Shot: After years as a New Orleans club institution, the Radiators signed with Epic for Law of the Fish, giving their self-described “fishhead music” its first real national push.
2. The Songs Had Been Brewing for Years: Much of the album wasn't newly written in 1987. Some material dated back to the late '70s, meaning the record functioned almost like a polished snapshot of songs the band had been developing onstage for years.
3. New Orleans Without the Usual Rules: The Radiators mixed rock, blues, funk and New Orleans groove without fitting neatly into any one scene. That hybrid identity became the band's calling card and helped them build a famously loyal live following.
