Nice 4 stars ★★★★ review of RADIO MOSCOW “Live! In California” in ROLLING STONE FR

4 stars ★★★★ review of RADIO MOSCOW “Live! In California” from the PUNK SITE

Live albums can be disappointing affairs, few capture the atmosphere or sound of a concert accurately, Live! In California is not one of those albums, this release proudly boasts having no overdubs and it is a perfect snapshot of a band live. Radio Moscow sound amazing live, the album is full on wall of histrionic guitars, rumbling bass and precise drums, it’s even more impressive when you consider there are only three of them. – READ THE REVIEW HERE

Introducing HEATH GREEN & The MAKESHIFTERS

ALIVE NATURALSOUND RECORDS are proud to announce the signing of HEATH GREEN & THE MAKESHIFTERS, a group of incredible deep-feel musicians hailing from Birmingham, Alabama.

The band is fronted by Heath Green, a singer who bears the Eddie Hinton mantle as much as anyone living does. The Makeshifters’ heavy sound has been compared to Leon Russell and The Shelter People, Humble Pie, and Joe Cocker.

Heath Green and The Makeshifters’ self-titled debut album will be released early 2017 on Alive Naturalsound records.

Check them out performing live in the studio for the Spectra Sonic Sound Sessions here. Prepare to be blown away!

Nice review of LEFT LANE CRUISER “Beck In Black” from ALL MUSIC

Beck in Black demonstrates Beck’s skills behind the kit, from the frantic trash-can percussion of “Zombie Blocked” and jittery drive of “Crackalacka” to the bluesy groove of “The Pusher” and the near-funky skip of “Chevrolet.” – REVIEW HERE

SULFUR CITY reviewed in ELMORE Magazine

A simmering, humid swamp of keyboards, rough-and-tumble guitars and rumbling bass and drums backs the powerhouse, blue-collar voice of Paradis, who scratches the electric washboard until her fingers bleed and belts out stirring anthems for the downtrodden on the lusty, smoking-hot Talking Loud. Invoking the spirit of Janis Joplin, Paradis actually sounds more like a young Grace Slick, tough and uncompromising. The lyrics are just as earthy, but full of evocative imagery. – READ THE REVIEW HERE

I-94 BAR gives 4 stars ★★★★ to RADIO MOSCOW “Live! In California”

If live albums are often dismissed as the preserve of bands fresh out of ideas and with nothing else to release to hoover more money from their witless and obliging fans, it’s time to re-assess that call. In fact, Radio Moscow’s barn-busting, sprawling opus screams out for a re-think. – The BARMAN / READ THE REVIEW HERE
