"I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio" is the fourth single from rock band Stereophonics taken from their second album, Performance and Cocktails. It was released in August 1999 and reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart.

The song is track seven on Performance and Cocktails. A live version from Morfa Stadium is present on CD2 of the single. A version with Stuart Cable singing vocals can be found on CD1 on the "Hurry Up and Wait" single.

Music video

The video was inspired as an homage to the cult 1969 road film Easy Rider. The idea supposedly came from the band's love for the movie. It shows the band as characters from the film, making a road trip through America on motorbikes.
