Crustier than a bad case of psoriasis and greaser than a chicken fried steak, the Ames, Iowa threesome Radio Moscow put the power back in power trio. – Modern Fix This is fun and slutty and cool. – Pop Matters An astonishingly good debut. – StonerRock.com Radio Moscow music is not subtle, but it is fun in a purposefully simplistic way. It's music for the 16-yearold lives inside many of us - the one who likes guitar solos to be labyrinthine and drums sound like Mount Vesuvius about to blow. - Blues Revue Los Angeles, CA - The debut album from Ames, Iowa psychedelic blues rock trio Radio Moscow is in stores now! The band's self-titled debut was produced and engineered by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. Catch them on tour! Dan was given a demo by Parker after a Black Keys gig in Colorado, and he liked it so much that he offered to produce their debut album in his own studio, The Pie Co, in Akron OH. Radio Moscow's debut is a guitar album reminiscent of the pre-punk era, and it will certainly delight fans of the Black Keys and Comets on Fire alike. The ten-song album features the tracks "Frustrating Sound," "Time Bomb," "Fuse," and "Mistreating Queen." With the line-up additions of Zach Anderson (bass) and Paul Marrone (drums) the trio will be touring the U.S. throughout 2007. Recent review of their San Francisco show : The interplay between Griggs and his new drummer from Missouri, Paul Marrone, was brilliant. Bassist Zach Anderson appeared to be the typical Bill Wyman/John Entwistle bassist: subdued physically, but kicking your ass with every move of his fingers. The three of them seem to be playing on instruments from the early 70s; perhaps blessed by the likes of Freddie King, Ginger Baker and Noel Redding; then wrapped up and placed in a steel vault, not to be opened until 2007. The licks that Griggs were playing came from somewhere else. I spoke to him after the show, not a good place for an interview, and I really desire to understand where his talent comes from. He's either a natural, or he's someone who enjoys sitting in his room eight hours a day and flying through scales after scales until they're second nature. Either way let's thank the guitar gods for the likes of Parker Griggs. – Free Radio SF |
