Moscow Girls

Artist Information

Biography

"...they make a thoughtfully crazy, energetic noise with ideas flying left, right and center..."

- Pure Rawk


In a day and age when the music world is over-saturated with bands who seem preoccupied with conforming to a specific genre's guidelines, 'Moscow Girls' draw their influences from the entire history of rock and roll to put out a sound that's fresh, yet familiar.

Formerly known as The Frantic, Moscow Girls have performed over 150 shows together. They've opened for the likes of the New York Dolls, Supersuckers, Chesterfield Kings, The Charms, Gore Gore Girls, IV Thieves, performed up and down the east coast and went on a 2 week tour of the UK in the summer of '06, all on a DIY work ethic.

They've recently wrapped up recording a self titled EP (available now on iTunes and Rhapsody) at the legendary Water Music in Hoboken, NJ.

I prefer it when they stick to the latter, with an appealing, dark, fuzzed out guitar, and frantic vocals. They could mature into something real interesting...

Emboding the light-hearted personalities of its creators, songs come equipped capable of inducing reactions from content head-bobbing to all-out groove-thang shakin' Jerzadelphia style, an ability opening doors everywhere...

With so many bands on Myspace, it's hard to get above the massive amounts of mediocre and bad music - Moscow Girls definitely break that barrier... The call out line on Moscow Girls Myspace page is, "Who are these Moscow Girls?" I have to say after hearing them, I would have to say the same thing and add - why does everyone not know them?
