Analog Rebellion
Analog Rebellion (formerly PlayRadioPlay!) is the solo, independent music project of Aledo, Texas songwriter Daniel Hunter. Hunter's solo career was started under the name PlayRadioPlay! in December 2005. Hunter changed the name to Analog Rebellion in September 2009, stating in his blog "I have come to the point where I no longer feel that the name PlayRadioPlay! represents the music I create".
Hunter writes, records and performs all of his own music, and refers to his sound as "Stadium Lo-Fi", an oxymoronic synthesis of the Lo-Fi genre and Stadium Rock genre. Hunter's most recent music has been compared to The Paper Chase, Pixies and The Secret Machines. In April 2010, The Dallas Observer called Hunter "the most promising 20-year-old musician from DFW since Palomo".
Early success
Hunter began creating music in his garage, but it was not until he discovered Music Programming in Music Theory class at Aledo High School 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 released an EP entitled The Frequency E.P. on April 27, 2007, which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Electronic chart and No. 27 on the Heatseekers chart. A full-length album entitled Texas was released March 18, 2008 debuting at No. 157 on the Billboard 200. In support of the album, he toured nationally with American rock bands Fall Out Boy, Secondhand Serenade, Yellowcard, The Spill Canvas, Hellogoodbye and Making April.

Decipher Reflections From Reality
by: Playradioplay!My parachute didn't open
And when my back up failed
The pixie dust prevailed
And I woke up next to you
All I wanted was to hold you
I was born in a city
However small
It held a hospital
For location where I came into being
It was all downhill from there
What do you do
When your lifes a disaster
And you're moving faster
And it's getting harder to breathe
What do you say
To someone whose right but
You disagree
Even if it's the truth
I was told you are depressed
By a little bird
That was severly hurt
As it did not notice my window
It just flew wherever the wind blows
As it convulsed on the pavement
It whispered I am hated
Your genetic flaws
I said say it all
You can't decipher reflections from reality
But neither can I
I noticed neither can I
I noticed neither can I
I noticed neither can I
You are the circle
I am the square
I have the non cut
You have the cool hair
We both take showers
For almost an hour
But only once a week or two
What do you do
When your lifes a disater
And your moving faster
And it's getting harder to breathe
What do you say
To someone whose right but
You disagree
