Bio
.. ....We are Stokoz To Moscow, and we're a bit like former Hull manager Phil Brown. Shouty, sweary and a bit rough... We've gigged with Future Of The Left, Kong, The Automatic, InMe, People In Planes, Fei Comodo, Deaf Havana, Don Broco, Telegraphs, Yashin amongst many others. We've also been been played on BBC Radio 6 by Tom Robinson, and BBC Radio Wales by Adam Walton. Hopefully they liked us..... If you would like to learn more, take a look at the reviews below..... .. .. .. ....www.guestlistmusic.com - Future of the Left, 19th January 2010, Manchester Ruby Lounge...... Despite misreading the website, turning up an entire hour before doors opened and thus retiring to the nearest public house, your man on the scene arrived midway through the opening act Stokoz to Moscow, who seemed bemused by the positive reaction from the crowd; They’d best get used to such an effect on audiences as their angular ‘Clyroisms will take this band far..... ....Adam Walton - BBC Radio Wales (Via Twitter)...... "Watching Stokoz to Moscow at the Frog. Pretty damned good, so far."......Ritual!...... />.. Stokoz To Moscow. .. We're so excited about these boy's debut Aesthetika night we've just made some jam. Stokoz to Moscow are one of the most beloved and brutal outfits in the surrounding chester and north Wales area. Belying their beautific, rural backgrounds, their pulvarising sets are known to provoke casual rioting and police intervention, establishing them as the ultimate debauched party band. Check em out at Ritual, City Bar 26/02....... ....Ben Davis - The Scene, Evening Leader - 7/01/2010...... "Stokoz To Moscow have uploaded a free download treat to their Myspace. A new song 'IStayedAWayFromTheYellowTabletsToday' echoes their love of Biffy Clyro, both old style and new. It's a giant of a song which features nifty production skills; synths, strings, harmonies - the lot. Have a listen to yourself at www.myspace.com/stokoztomoscow.".... ....FLY MAGAZINE - August 'Band of the Month' - Stokoz To Moscow.... .. "Stokoz To Moscow are a brash, energetic 3-piece power rock / punk band from Deeside comprising of Martin Gallagher (guitar/vocals), Ben Griffiths (bass/vocals) and Gareth Jones (drums/vocals). They may all share singing responsibilities but Crosby, Stills and Nash they most certainly aren't (thankfully). .... Although they've only been going for a year they've already taken North Wales by storm and built up a huge local following thanks to a series of barnstorming gigs along the coast - they've even got their own street team so you can tell these guys mean business! ....As well as sharing vocals live they also share song-writing responsibilities and are influenced by a number of bands including The Foo Fighters, Muse, Faith No More and Godspeed You Black Emperor and Biffy Clyro to name just a few, but manage to write highly original tunes as opposed to simply paying homage to their mentors. .... If Stokoz To Moscow come to a town near you just make sure you don't miss them - they're one the the most exciting new live bands currently treading the North Wales boards and I predict very large and successful things ahead for them. Check them out at www.myspace.com/stokoztomoscow" - Gary Cut, Barfly North Wales. .. .. ....www.wrexhammusic.co.uk Review - Jul 2nd, 2009...... "Fresh after a great support slot with Yashin, Stokoz To Moscow are bound to get huge applause from an array of media by the end of the year. Their energetic style can be seen from influences ranging from the Foo Fighters and also Rage Against The Machine" - Danny Whitehead, www.wrexhammusic.co.uk .. .. ....ArtsInLeicestershire.co.uk - The Shed, Jan, 2009...... The Welsh trio had a set that included some angular songs with a raw, aggressive edge and all three shared the vocals. They thumped out some big statements, fast, furious and rugged. Songs fuelled by sweat and adrenaline, albeit counterbalanced by some quieter melodic passages. A bit on the experimental, alternative side at times, resounding, vigorous and full of passion and energy. Sound stuff..... ....Pentre Club - 08/'09 (Academy Images).... ....“One struggles to continue to find new superlatives to describe the phenomena that is Stokoz To Moscow...a unique, complex sound... .... They describe themselves as “three hairy, sweaty men beating your eardrums, hard”, is I feel an injustice, their set being more akin to a violent exothermic reaction, both visually and audibly...Yes, with the amount of energy expended under the spotlights, they were more than a little moist by the end of their set, and at least one, has a generous allocation of body hair, but their sound is in no way an assault on the ears...To the contrary, it is a unique, complex sound that keeps one wondering just how they are able to produce such intricacies whilst maintaining such a furious pace on stage.....The answer to this latter question is answered by observation of the plethora of effects pedals at their disposal, not the largest collection I have seen guitarists use at Pentre, but none have come close to matching the skills in their use, which were on display tonight.....Seven tracks from this trio tonight – Pressurehead, which immediately grabbed your attention 132 Days, I Stayed Away From The Yellow Tablets Today, Big Daddy Wowdy, 3:28, Ode To Sanity and DLC...Lovely guitar work throughout, wonderful harmonies between Martin and Gareth on 3:28, inspired drumming, underpinned with Ben’s majestic bass riffs, which when coupled with a peerless stage presence, made this truly a set to remember.....With a host of local gigs over the next couple of months, and the imminent release of their new C.D. – a busy time ahead for this engaging trio." - Richard Hibbert, www.panic-promotions.com .. .. ..
