Nice JAMES LEG review of “Below The Belt” in UBER ROCK

ALIVE0173

Nestled somewhere between Jim Jones Revue and Gallon Drunk with just a hint of Tom Waits and The Fuzztones comes a screaming James Leg. Buckle up bitches this is a journey down a dirty track with nothing but a fistful of Rock and Roll for company, some cheap drugs and a bottle of moonshine. ‘Dirty South’ kicks off the album in fine voice and should be the department for tourism’s theme tune. Hip shaking, foot taping, head swinging rock and roll for sure. This is the result of selling your soul to the devil in exchange for a good time and some rock and roll. – Dom Daley / READ THE WHOLE REVIEW HERE

RADIO MOSCOW – FULL SET at NASHVILLE SUNDAY NIGHT on 10/25

RadioMoscow_Patrick1

Nashville Sunday Night is a special presentation of Nashville’s Independent Radio, Lightning 100. Each Sunday night Lightning 100 broadcasts a concert from 3rd and Lindsley, one of Nashville’s finest live music venues. October 25, 2015, featured Radio Moscow opening up for The Sheepdogs.

Radio Moscow are often compared stylistically to blues rock bands from the 1960s and 1970s, particularly fellow power trios like Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Blue Cheer. Reviewing the band’s self-titled album for music website AllMusic, Greg Prato described the group’s sound as “a throwback to the classic rock of the ’70s”, comparing certain songs to artists such as Ram Jam, The Allman Brothers Band and The Jeff Beck Group. Following the release of Brain Cycles, Radio Moscow have also been cited as an example of the stoner rock genre.

As a kid, Brent Rademaker went to see Rock ‘n’ Roll High School with his older brother and found himself staring at the poster, transfixed.

Amid the cartoon mayhem, The Ramones stand front and center, triumphant, like they were in the film, like they were in the minds of kids who grew up on rock ‘n’ roll.

Flash forward 35 years and Rademaker, best known as frontman for the psychedelic country band Beachwood Sparks, found himself with a new band, a new album and on the phone with William Stout, the artist behind that iconic Rock ‘n’ Roll High School poster. Two days after Rademaker had described the band, their personalities and the sound of the new record, Stout sent back the album cover: a runaway train in the California sunshine, carrying the cartoon version of GospelbeacH on their maiden journey.

The playful tone of the artwork perfectly matches the fun-loving rock ‘n’ roll of GospelbeacH, another in a series of fortunate coincidences that led to the band’s debut record, Pacific Surf Line.

“There’s nothing more fun than sitting there listening to a record and staring at the cover and finding little things. That is the rock ‘n’ roll vibe,” Rademaker says. “As I get older, I just want to connect with fans and people who listen to music the way I connected with music when I was younger.” – READ THE WHOLE INTERVIEW ON THE PASTE SITE

LA RECORDS’ review of GOSPELBEACH’s “Pacific Surf Line”

ALIVE0174

Rising from the resin of bands such as Beachwood Sparks, Further, and The Tyde, GospelbeacH’s debut LP Pacific Surf Line reminds the listener that there is still stardust to be found in the search for the endless summer. The perfectly dosed tracks here toe the line between hippie sunshine daydream, Sunset Strip wooziness, and high-and-lonesome sadness. Featuring members Brent Rademaker (Beachwood Sparks), Jason Soda (Everest), Neal Casal (Ryan Adams and the Cardinals), Kip Boardman, and guest Nelson Bragg (Brian Wilson), the band works less like a supergroup than a cohesive unit locked into a groove, eye to eye, upturned chin to chin. – READ THE ENTIRE REVIEW HERE
