When you find a band or artist that is every bit as awesome to talk with as they are to see live then you’ve run into something truly special. When you find a band or artist that is every bit as good in the studio to boot then you have magic. That’s what I found when I heard Manchester, U.K.’s own Mohawk Radio. Comprised of four extremely talented individuals comprising one extremely talented band which, mark my words, you WILL see everywhere in twelve months. I write that for all of you intelligent people out there with eidetic memory who, when they start to regularly see Mohawk Radio in the web and the airwaves, can instantly pull this article up and prove to their friends that they heard of them first. - Jammerzine
At the forefront of Mohawk Radio is Bermuda born Mia Page, whose powerful vocals are a blessing sent down from ‘Rock N Roll Heaven’. Her range and power not only sounds great, but when you add her larger than life stage presence into the mix you have an accomplished rock artist/performer who commands the stage in much the same way as her more famous predecessors, such as how the likes of Cher and Stevie Nicks made an impact with a rock band behind them. She may be born in Bermuda, but she’s fast becoming a Manchester sensation.
Although the focus is on Page and her stage theatrics, it should be noted that the musicians behind her are key to the whole Mohawk Radio package. With a solid rhythm section of Dave Quinn on drums, and Sean Frankland on bass, and the illustrious guitar craft of James Gregory, who’s one of the most innovative in the underground scene, Mohawk Radio have the foundations to create something a little unique and special. They play with all the gusto and passion of a heavy rock band, but peel it back just one simple layer to make the sound so much more captivating and melodious. At times it sounds like stripped back metal that’s restrained, bursting to detonate from its constrictions, but its Page’s control of the tempo of each song that won’t allow it to become too hard hitting, and that’s what makes the band sound so engaging and interesting. - Classic Rock Society
