After listening to Radio Moscow’s debut album I was immediately intrigued and knew that I had to see them play live. Walking into this show as a relatively new Radio Moscow fan, my knowledge was limited, they are from Iowa and their guitar player is insanely phenomenal, that’s all I had. So when Radio Moscow took the stage, I was utterly shocked…they are so young to possess this amount of talent. Yes, the vast majority of bands start out in their younger years but Radio Moscow’s music is so marinated, so mature, so classic, so intense!
Within the first few minutes, my shock faded into amazement. Griggs, played the guitar as if it was an extension of his body, like an extra appendage he was born with and mastered with little effort. Hendrix would no doubt be proud. Although it was difficult to take my eyes off the guitar, the drummer was beckoning for some well deserved attention. He was wailing so hard on the drums and exuding so much energy that he inhaled water bottles like he was a sea creature.
Radio Moscow’s set seemed very intimate, like they were sharing a well kept secret with the audience. Overall, Radio Moscow is one of the best live shows Music Snitch has ever had the pleasure to review. It was Rock ‘N Roll in the purest of forms. These talented young fellows spawning from Middle America have the potential to make some big waves in a small pool.
