Radio Moscow BRAIN CYCLES

Radio Moscow: Parker Griggs (vocals, guitar, drums, percussion); Zach Anderson (bass instrument).
Recording information: Sound Farm, Jamica, IA.
Black Keys-approved, Iowa-based, Parker Griggs-led stoner-rockers Radio Moscow are an unabashed head trip back to the days of Blue Cheer and Band Of Gypsies. Standout tracks like "Broke Down" pack all the requisite, feedback-driven centerpiece riffs, but it's the integration of virtuoso lead licks and extended wha-wha breakdowns that makes BRAIN CYCLES stand apart from potential peers like the White Stripes and Black Mountain and brings them closer to the psych-stomp of Witchcraft. Falling expertly between VOL. 4-era Black Sabbath and warbled NUGGETS classics, Radio Moscow's sophomore effort will most definitely scramble and pummel your BRAIN.
