Radio Moscow: Magical Dirt

Rock Is Alive And Well

“Trends come and go, but the idea of guys getting together in a garage and playing the kind of music that makes the neighbors call the cops – that’s forever.”  (from the radiomoscow.net “about” page).  Parker Griggs clearly listened to a whole lot of Hendrix, and he is talented enough to capitalize on it.  Radio Moscow is honest, guitar-driven high energy rock.  The opening track, “So Alone”, really deserves consideration for best tune of 2014.  No drop-off from there, as tunes two through ten continue to kick major ass.  Radio Moscow is old-school, one guitar, one bass, one drummer straight-up hard rock.  Radio stations that play rock seem to play only “classic rock”, but here is a band playing brand new rock in that classic style.  Radio Moscow has a truly authentic late 60’s/early 70’s sound with truly inspired songwriting.  I am going to stop gushing about this album so you can click on the video below and check out “So Alone”, the opening track from Magical Dirt, Radio Moscow’s new album.  I hope some of you will go out and buy the album and spread the word about this kick-ass band.                     -Ultra
