   About STOKOZ TO MOSCOW
Stokoz To Moscow are from Deeside in North Wales. We like playing loud, hard and sweaty.
We've played with some class acts in our time, including The Automatic, People In Planes, Sucioperro, Dandelion Killers, Fei Comodo, Spunge, Deaf Havana, Don Broco, Telegraphs and Yashin and more. We've also been fortunate enough to be played on BBC Radio Wales on the Adam Walton Show.


Stokoz To Moscow are a modest band, so here's let some reviews tell you more about the guys.

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" - www.wrexhammusic.co.uk.

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.


Keep an eye out for brand new music coming soon, and more massive gigs and venues that we'll be tearing up along with our Stokoz Army.

Haha yeah, we saw that! But didn't know if it was really THE Automatic or not. Fair play to you guys though, that's awesome!

We did record Trouble ages ago but we decided to do a better version as it's a fan favourite and fairly strong track in itself.

We also noticed you're recording again soon. Give us a shout when you get some new tunes up and keep up the great work!
