\Radio,"" starring Ed Harris and Cuba Gooding Jr., comes as a quiet and down-to-earth film in a season of epics.

It should be pretty easy to dismiss The Revolution Smile and their new album Above the Noise. The band seems to carry just enough complaints and personal baggage to seem like a carbon-copy of every angry-young-man metal and rock band that came before them. While trying to garner radio play and popularity, the band strives to dismiss the celebrity appeal of it all. The Revolution Smile sounds like it is trying to craft original music while staying close to the grunge and rock of the early '90s.
Combining a little bit of big band swing, an ancient Greek myth and childhood innocence versus willful ignorance, the play \Eurydice"" makes for an excellent night of entertainment.
