An Iowa City band that built a following on straightforward rock with guitar solos and open-road energy.
For a quick sense of Radio Moscow, try 250 Miles or Broke Down. They're both good examples of that driving, open-road feel the band does well.
Radio Moscow matters because they deliver exactly what they promise: driving rock that leans on blues structures and psychedelic touches without overcomplicating things. Songs like 250 Miles and Broke Down have that open-road feel the band does well, built around guitar work that's energetic and direct. They've put out records fairly regularly, from Brain Cycles to Curse of the Lost, sticking to their lane without much fuss.
The band started in Iowa City in the late 2000s, with early albums like Brain Cycles and Radio Moscow establishing their sound. Guitarist Parker Griggs left in 2015, but they kept going with Luke McNeill on guitar and vocals, putting out records including The Great Escape of Leslie Magnafuzz and New Beginnings. Their 2019 album was Curse of the Lost.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
