The Radio Dept. were one of the more successful shoegaze-influenced
indie rock bands to come out of Sweden in the early 2000s, making waves
among indie aficionados on the strength of their critically acclaimed
first release, Lesser Matters. Elin Almered and Johan Duncanson formed a
prototypical version of the group in Lund, Sweden, in 1995 while they
were in high school, naming the group after a gas station called
Radioavdelningen. Almered and Duncanson disbanded almost as soon as
they'd found a name, but Duncanson revived the group three years later,
teaming up with Martin Larsson. Bassist Lisa Carlberg, drummer Per
Blomgren, and keyboardist Daniel Tjader rounded out the lineup in 2001,
and things took off for the group at that point. They sent a demo to
Sonic magazine, which went on to feature the band on a CD sampler.
Swedish indie giant Labrador caught wind of the demo via the sampler and
snapped the band up; the group's debut full-length, Lesser Matters,
arrived two years later, during which time Blomgren amicably split with
the group. That album and the band's second release on Labrador, 2005's
Pulling Our Weight EP, received widespread attention with the release of
Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, which featured "Keen on Boys,"
"Pulling Our Weight," and "I Don't Like It Like This."
Carlberg left the group soon after Pulling Our Weight was released, and
the group refrained from hiring another bassist, opting instead for the
use of a drum machine on its next album. That release, 2006's Pet Grief,
found Duncanson and Larsson turning away from the guitar-driven aspects
of their first full-length and delving into synth pop in the spirit of
the Pet Shop Boys. Due to various factors, including the fact that the
band didn't tour heavily in support of the album, Pet Grief failed to
sell as well as its predecessor and received little attention from the
mainstream music press. The Radio Dept. took their time recording
material for their next album, and it wasn't until summer of 2008 that a
new single, Freddie and the Trojan Horse, was released. More delays led
to nothing further surfacing (and the album that was supposed to be out
in late 2008, Clinging to a Scheme, being shelved) until the next
summer, when the single David was released.

The band was conceived in 1995 by schoolmates Elin Almered and Johan Duncanson, who named the group after a gas-station-turned-radio-repair-shop called "Radioavdelningen" (Swedish for The Radio Department). However, Almered and Duncanson soon stopped playing music together, putting the band on hiatus. Then three years later, in 1998, Duncanson started making music again but now with Martin Larsson and they decided to adopt the same name. In 2001, Larsson's then girlfriend Lisa Carlberg joined the group on bass, followed by Per Blomgren on drums and Daniel Tjäder on keyboards.
Later in 2001, the band sent recordings to music magazine Sonic, receiving a positive review and being featured on the free CD sampler that came with the magazine. Labrador Records heard them on the disc and signed them to their label. Per Blomgren left the group prior to the release of their album Lesser Matters and Lisa Carlberg departed after the release of This Past Week EP. According to their website, the band decided to use digital drum tracks and stated that for their second album they were "taking a new direction ... which wouldn't require a member that played bass guitar."
The group enjoyed more widespread recognition after three tracks ("Pulling Our Weight" from the Pulling Our Weight EP, "I Don't Like It Like This" from the This Past Week EP, and "Keen on Boys" from Lesser Matters) were included on the soundtrack for Sofia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette.
Early 2006 saw the release of their second album Pet Grief. The distorted buzz that adorned most of their debut was now replaced by synthesizer. The album didn't reach the rest of Europe, including the UK until later in 2006. Unfortunately, with little touring support there was no real buzz behind Pet Grief. Reviews were mixed. NME rated the album with a 7 out of 10, but other magazines were not quite so kind. However, it did find popularity amongst a growing fan base throughout the world, thanks to the Internet. The album is available in the US through Darla and through their US distribution deal with Labrador.
By the end of 2006, a brand new track "We Made the Team" was released as the 100th release on the Labrador. It was also the final track on the Labrador's labels Compilation of 100 tracks released at the beginning of 2007. Although all UK tour dates but one in London were recently canceled, the band is said to be working on a new album.
The band released a new EP in May 2008 entitled Freddie And The Trojan Horse, including the songs "Freddie And The Trojan Horse", "Closing Scene" and "The Room, Tarzana" on Labrador Records. Another EP, David, was released on June 24, 2009. It included four songs; "David", "Messy Enough", "David (Rice Twins Remix)" and "The Idle Urban Contemporaries". The song "David" has been made available for download at no cost by Labrador Records.
After "David", The Radio Dept. released the album Clinging to a Scheme on April 20, 2010.
In January 2011 Passive Aggressive: Singles 2002–2010 was released. It contains all the A-sides released by the band and many of the B-sides and other rarities.
