New Radio Moscow - "Broke Down"


Stream the new Radio Moscow song, "Broke Down."

Click Here - Radio Moscow - "Broke Down"


The best way to describe this song is ROCK. Crank up the volume. The song features an amazing guitar solo and great bass parts.

The new Radio Moscow stuff that is coming out is exactly what music needs, real rock with amazing instrumentals and excellent players on every instrument. The guitar play is some of the best in the WORLD!!!!!

If you like Cream, Jimi Hendrix, or Peter Green then there is a strong chance you will love Radio Moscow.

Right now the following websites are sleeping on Radio Moscow. These sites are influencial in music and they aren't putting out one of the freshest and most talented bands in the world:

-Rolling Stone - Especially Austin Scaggs
- Stereogum
- Pitchfork

Pitchfork and Stereogum always post streaming cuts from cutesy little indie kids with electro tunes and the hippest neon sunglasses, but they haven't posted this new Radio Moscow song? What the hell is going on in music? Radio Moscow is pure rock music. They aren't trendy, they aren't like everyone else right now. That is exactly why they are great. The music is undeniable.

Radio Moscow's new album will prove that they are one of the best bands in music right now and if you get a chance please go see them live. I promise you won't be dissapointed.
