The Molochs

The Profile

The Molochs are a Los Angeles duo (Lucas Fitzsimons and Ryan Foster). Their debut, Forgetter Blues, is dated 2013; their second album, America's Velvet Glory, was released January 2017.

Los Angeles-based garage/psychedelic rock band. Reviewers note strong 1960s influences (Rolling Stones, Byrds, Modern Lovers) and describe the music as openly derivative and retro-tinged.

A positive, mildly ironic review of The Molochs' 2017 album America's Velvet Glory. The record is short (11 tracks, ~30 minutes) and openly derivative, mixing garage, Byrds-like jangle and psychedelic folk. Recommended for listeners who like retro 60s-influenced rock.
