Radio & Media
In addition to their live work, Scrash came to national prominence in May 1992 when a previously unreleased demo version of their track "Funtime" won the "Soundclash" competition on GLR Radio (BBC 94.9)'s weekly Gary Crowley show. The song was then played numerous times on the show in the following weeks. Previous winners of the "Soundclash" competition include Suede and Sidi Bou Said.
The video to "Funtime"(now also available on YouTube)was also aired on early evening Central TV during a focus on bands in the West Midlands.

Famous quotes containing the words radio and/or media:
“The radio ... goes on early in the morning and is listened to at all hours of the day, until nine, ten and often eleven o’clock in the evening. This is certainly a sign that the grown-ups have infinite patience, but it also means that the power of absorption of their brains is pretty limited, with exceptions, of course—I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. One or two news bulletins would be ample per day! But the old geese, well—I’ve said my piece!”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
