Radio Iodine was an American alternative rock group originating from St. Louis, Missouri. The band initially formed in 1993 under the name 9 Days Wonder, consisting of Tony Persyn, his wife Ellen, and drummer Steven “Stitch” Held. Following a dispute over their original name, they adopted the moniker Radio Iodine. They secured a deal with Radioactive Records and released a self-titled EP in 1996. Subsequently, Radioactive Records' chairman Gary Kurfirst established the subsidiary label Radiouniverse, debuting with the band's 1997 album Tiny Warnings.
During the summer of 1997, the group embarked on a tour across the Midwest. In the autumn of that year, guitarist Tom Bramer departed and was succeeded by Mike Speckhard. Radio Iodine's last live appearance took place at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis on December 12, 1998.
Tony Persyn died on January 12, 2020.
