Hair Of by El Perro
EL PERRO is a brand new band led by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter/producer Parker Griggs of RADIO MOSCOW. The sound contains elements that fans of Radio Moscow will recognize, but this is rock music with a new, fresh spin and feel. The band’s debut album, “Hair Of El Perro”, takes heavy psychedelic rock as a starting point but jams into more syncopated territory, spicing its sound with Latin rhythms and hints of Funkadelic-style grooves. You could say that EL PERRO plays psychedelic funk rock, and you wouldn’t be wrong.
Coming towards the end of the nine-song journey, is possibly one of the best Blues-riffed Stoner Rock explosions in the history of modern rock—quite literally. Griggs’ lead guitar is in absolute rare form and exemplifies some of the best playing I have ever heard from him—ever. – TONE Scott / GOLDMINE
With apologies to Jon Spencer, this band should be called Parker Griggs Blues Explosion as the singer/guitarist delivers brimstone-and-fire, heavy psychedelic blues rock with spit and swagger. – THE BIG TAKEOVER
The heady combination of psych-rock, funk, Latin rock, and soul come together in one blistering wave of shredding. Indeed, this may be a new direction for the Radio Moscow musician, but it is still 100% cranked guitar rock at the core. – GLIDE MAGAZINE
Hair Of… is a burner that stands out for engaging with funk as it does and winding up neither in a mire of cultural appropriation nor a retread of past ideas. It sounds fresh, and so it is. And one imagines that, taken to the stage, these songs are all the more powerful, swinging and swaggering. – THE OBELISK
Volume knobs, rattletrap drums and then pure supersonic venom all figure in Black Days, the delicious twelve-minute epic that winds up the record: the dip to a squiggly bass-and-drums interlude sets up a memorable duel on the way out. – NEW YORK MUSIC DAILY
