Some bands wear their influences on their sleeves.
Radioslave puts theirs up in neon lights. When you are both a passionate fan of a particular group and a musician in a band it is important to remember the difference between being influenced by your favorite artist and becoming an outright tribute band. Thankfully Radioslave knows where this line is drawn. They keep a safe enough distance to contribute new ideas to the sound created by the Smashing Pumpkins instead of drifting into parody. First of all are the vocal stylings of Mike Bedard who has got the Billy Corgan gritty whine down as well as a drag queen performing Judy Garland.
