There is one thing more boring than a drum solo at a live show and that is a drum solo on an album. Yet that is exactly what Radio Moscow does in “No Good Woman”, a song off of their second album “Brain Cycles”. Other than that there is some pretty crazy psychedelic bluesrock on here that Marty McFly brought back from the seventies with his DeLorean.
Think Sabbath riffs, a sturdy rhythm section and the holy power of the wah-wah pedal. There are a couple of times when The Black Keys come to mind (coincidentally the band was discovered by Dan Auerbach). “Black Boot” for instance comes with a nice blues stomp. Other than that these dudes sound like Cream on meth. It says “best played very high” on the back of the album… I’ll leave it to you whether that means turning the volume all the way up or listening to “Brain Cycles” with bong placed firmly in hand. I don’t doubt for a second though that both will make this album rock even harder!
Score: 7.5 out of 10
