About this album

Remote Control is a sharp, satirical rock album that shows The Tubes turning their theatrical instincts into something leaner and more radio-ready. Issued in 1979, it balances glam energy with prog-leaning complexity, using TV culture, sex, fame and consumer obsession as targets for the band’s dark humour. The result is one of their most focused records, driven by punchy arrangements and performance-led vocals rather than pure novelty. Coming after the group’s early cult success, it helped define their reputation as a band that could fuse spectacle, irony and hard-edged rock without losing momentum or bite.
