PlayRadioPlay! is a electronic/pop band from Aledo, Texas started by Daniel Hunter in December 2005. Hunter began creating music in his garage, but it was not until he discovered Fruity Loops in Music Theory class at Aledo High School that he began to create electronic based music. After rapidly gaining popularity on MySpace, Hunter signed with Island/Stolen Transmission midway through his senior year of high school.

Hunter makes his music with Propellerheads Reason, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and various other electric and acoustic instruments to create an upbeat, dancy, and lyrically simple style of music. He writes, performs, and records all of his own music. The sound can be compared to The Postal Service, Hellogoodbye, Electric President,Metro Station, and other electronic acts. PlayRadioPlay! released an E.P. entitled The Frequency on April 27, 2007, which debuted at #6 on the Billboard Electronic chart and #27 on the Heatseekers chart. A full-length album entitled Texas was released Tuesday, March 18, 2008 debuting at #157 on the Billboard 200. In support of the album, PlayRadioPlay! toured nationally with American Rock Bands Secondhand Serenade and Making April.

Hunter left Island Records in late June 2008 after a 2-year run. He describes his affliction with the company as a nightmare in his MySpace blog. Shortly after, on June 27, 2008, Hunter announced in his MySpace blog that he had demoed a new E.P. titled ‘The Organic/Synthetic’ as well as another unnamed E.P. which he will eventually combine as a full-length album and hopes to release it sometime after the new year. Since then he has released three demos from the E.P. on his MySpace page.
