Radio Moscow
Psychedelic rock, blues, and heavy metal have been crossbreeding for decades, inspiring Led Zeppelin, Hawkwind, and Blue Öyster Cult in the ’70s, up through modern acts like The Black Keys and Iowa’s Radio Moscow. Guitarist Parker Griggs’ fast-fingered fretwork fuels the trio’s smoky, Hendrixian fire, which attracted the attention of the Keys’ Dan Auerbach while Griggs was still a teenager and led to Auerbach producing the group’s 2007 self-titled debut. 2009’s Brain Cycles is cohesive, sludgy, and powerfully driven, practically standing up and shouting to snare the listener’s attention. The group’s latest, 2011’s The Great Escape Of Leslie Magnafuzz, finds the band as loose and chaotic as ever, producing a relentless assault of fuzzy guitars and hard riffs.
