LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/
Radio Moscow Official Website) - The debut album from Ames, Iowa psychedelic blues rock trio
Radio Moscow is in stores today! The band's self-titled debut was produced and engineered by Dan Auerbach of The
Black Keys.
Radio Moscow led by 21-year-old guitarist/drummer/singer/songwriter Parker Griggs, originally cut his teeth playing garage punk, but his sound is also channeled through the blues, with experimental breakdowns, unpredictable tempo changes, crazy rave-ups and fuzzed out psychedelic guitar work; the result is an exciting and truly distinctive sound. Parker plays all the instruments on the album except for bass, played by Luke McDuff, and slide guitar on "Deep Blue Sea" which is played by Dan Auerbach.
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 Keith Rich (drums) the trio will be touring the U.S. throughout 2007.
