  • "Face for the Radio" is the fifth single to be released by Dundee band The View, and the last to be released from their debut album Hats Off to the Buskers. It was released in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2007 (see 2007 in British music) on CD and 7" vinyl formats. "Face for the Radio" is entirely acoustic, and is the only acoustic track on the Hats Off to the Buskers album. The title may refer to a friendly radio DJ known to the band. The song was BBC Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman's Record of the Week for the week commencing May 23, the same week in which it entered the C-list in the Radio 1 playlist. It was promoted to the B-list for the week commencing June 6. The band performed the track on March 1, 2007 at the 2007 Shockwaves NME Awards, on the same night they won the award for "Best Track" with their debut single, "Wasted Little DJs". The are also notably no proper B-sides on the single. The single was not a commercial success, receiving very little airplay on mainstream radio. It is so far The View's only single that has failed to make the UK Top 40. (en)
