The Living End fired the opening shot of the State of Emergency era with "What's on Your Radio", released on November 21, 2005 as the first single from the Australian band's fourth studio album. Chris Cheney wrote it top to bottom, words and music, and sings it over his electric guitar, with Scott Owen on double bass and backing vocals and Andy Strachan on drums. Nick Launay produced, recorded and mixed it, keeping it tight and punchy, a straight shot of rock and roll adrenaline.
At home it climbed to number nine, and Triple J's listeners voted it into their Hottest 100 for 2005. The Australian CD single backed it with "Reborn" and "Wrong Side of the Tracks", while the UK got it as a download and a limited red seven-inch.
