RADIO MOSCOW PREMIERES NEW TRACK "THESE DAYS" VIA GHETTOBLASTER!
NEW “MAGICAL DIRT” LP DROPS JUNE 17!
GHETTOBLASTER PREMIERES RADIO MOSCOW’S NEW “THESE DAYS” TRACK. (below)RADIO MOSCOW’S FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM “MAGICAL DIRT” TO BE RELEASED JUNE 17TH THROUGH ALIVE NATURALSOUND RECORDS!
SECOND LEG OF THEIR MASSIVE EUROPEAN TOUR KICKS-OFF MAY 15TH IN FRANCE!
On June 17th Radio Moscow will release their fourth studio album, aptly entitled Magical Dirt. The band’s fountainhead Parker Griggs, along with partners-in-crime Anthony Meier (bass) and Paul Marrone (drums), have cultivated yet another blues-rock masterpiece that crossbreeds late ’60s psych-rock and face-melting guitar histrionics with the foundation-crumbling rhythms from early ’70s hard-rock, and even includes a couple of harrowing tracks built from the bedrock of rural Delta blues. But more than merely digging up fossils from rock’s revered past, Griggs & Co. manage to translate the myths of rock-n-roll’s golden age into modern day truths for a new, younger generation.
Listen to ‘These Days’
Radio Moscow’s Magical Dirt will be available June 17 on CD, mp3 and limited edition hand-mixed starburst vinyl via Alive Naturalsound Records.

“[9 out of 10 stars] A true masterpiece.” – ULTIMATE GUITAR
“Fifty minutes of psyche-rock fireworks…. like spending an evening with Jimi Hendrix, Cream, ZZ Top, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy and The Black Keys.” – ROLLING STONE
“[4 out of 5 stars] Rippingly badass.” – PREMIERE GUITAR
“Radio Moscow clearly channel the glory days of the power trio (à la Blue Cheer, Cream and Hendrix). These three bump the energy and tempos up to match modern tastes and shred extensively on over-the-top, marathon bluesy freak-outs with first-class precision and a cohesion tighter than the lid on your granny’s jar of pickled eggs.” – NASHVILLE SCENE
“Griggs’ masterful guitar work is spellbinding… we recommend multiple listens at high volume.” – AUSTIN EXAMINER
“One of the best modern purveyors of retrograde psychedelic blues-rock.” – SAN FRANCISCO WEEKLY
“Californian based band lovingly concoct a Cream/Hendrix inspired album of cosmic blues. Mainman Parker Griggs is a great guitarist and he’s clearly having a ball…. exhilarating stuff.” – THE DAILY TELEGRAPH – UK
“Psychedelic, acid-laced guitar-based rock that will shake you to your soul.” – MUSIC SAVAGE
“A bona fide blues-meets-psych-rock staple.”- SALT LAKE CITY WEEKLY
“The band has a style and rhythm reminiscent of Blue Cheer and MC5, but with—believe it or not—more impressive guitar work. For those desiring music with layers, Radio Moscow is every bit as bluesy as it is early garage.” – SANTA FE REPORTER
“Do you pine for psychedelic blues rock in the vein of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer, and the MC5? Ames, Iowa’s Radio Moscow possess big, fuzzy riffs, a drummer who makes the full use of his toms, and a vocalist who may or may not have time traveled here from the Summer of Love. This is some sprawling stuff and all expertly executed. A rock blowout.” – THE STRANGER: SEATTLE
