Psychedelic hard rock band RADIO MOSCOW has announced fall US tour dates in support of its new album Brain Cycles (Alive Records). The electrifying California-based band – featuring 23 year old guitar prodigy Parker Griggs - will kick off the trek on September 13th in San Francisco, CA.

Originally hailing from Story City, IA, Radio Moscow is the brain child of Parker Griggs who formed the band in 2003. Soon after, Griggs attended a BLACK KEYS show and handed a Radio Moscow demo to Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach who loved what he heard and subsequently produced the band’s eponymous debut. Named for the pre-Cold War precursor to the propaganda outlet ‘Voice of Russia’, Radio Moscow’s amped up, captivating sound harkens back to the glory days of the power trio (when CREAM and BLUE CHEER ruled the earth and the power of the Marshall stack was unquestioned).

Live, Griggs' unbelievable blues-driven, wah-wah heavy riffs and smoking guitar solos have drawn oft-comparison to the great Jimi Hendrix; the compliment gaining conviction with each and every Radio Moscow performance. The Onion recently said “Radio Moscow plants its flag firmly in the territory where psychedelic rock, cranked-up blues, and metal meet,” with “powerful, crunching Sabbath-style chords and fiery solos that earn the right to be called Hendrixian.” And that ain’t no lie!

As Griggs’ guitar prowess and live legend continues to grow, so does the buzz on Radio Moscow. The power trio is a true blues-driven rock band in every sense of the phrase and has boiled its lineup down to the essentials: bass, guitar and drums, encouraging extroverted playing from the band members, often at very high volumes. Radio Moscow’s mind-blowing live performances and self-proclaimed “Guitar Music” have been called “throwback rock blues as a wall of sound,” and “at times a romp, trying to uncover that secret to the brilliance of Led Zeppelin II.”
