Radium Dolls are living proof that hard work pays off. Despite the grown-up obligations of daily life, they’ve managed to remain one of Brisbane’s busiest bands, never missing a show and recording the next big idea only when the exact moment strikes.

Their second album, “Wound Up,” comes out Jan. 30, and it was created in a similar fashion to their first. But the term “sophomore slump” is not even in their vocabulary. This wild band thrives in the boundless space between chaos and precision, and about a month ago, I spoke with singer Will Perkins and drummer Bryce Equinox about these very principles.
