London's Moses serve up indie rock with a power pop sense on "Who Needs The Money"

AP Track Review


London boys Victor, Matthew, Rory and James are on a nice trajectory. As Moses, their brand of indie rock with big pop presence has the brazen power of youth after all. The track Who Needs The Money starts with a subtle yet formidable bass line, but it does not stay subtle for long, it fires up quickly on almost snarling vox. The cadence is edgy, the bass sexy and the guitar lines strident with notes as thick as ropes hanging in mid air. The power assist of the drum lines are like they should be, serving the muscular sound so well. Young good looking lads who write punchy post punk indie rock tunes with pop sensibilities... and they are British. Oh yeah, Moses are on a very nice trajectory.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM- PRESS NOTES:

Having nothing in common with the saviour prophet – except great live performance, MOSES

are an honest rock music antidote to the times we live through. “See them play as soon as

possible, they will lift your soul!” - John Kennedy (Radio X, 2019)

The band released an eponymous debut EP in Autumn 2016 and a single; ‘King Size’, in 2017.

Their live presence earned great supports (The Heavy, Feeder, The Enemy etc.) and festivals

including Reading/Leeds, Download, Kendal Calling, Camden Rocks and The Great Escape.

"...recalling the fizzing energy of very early Blur, except, maybe even better." (Mojo)

After a brief hiatus in early 2018, they stepped up with a DIY plan. Armed with self financed

recordings and belief in their songs: MOSES released the Gil Norton produced singles;

‘Cause You Got Me’ (Autumn) and ‘River Thames’ (Winter) and won new fans, international

support, key playlists - plus gigs with profiled UK guitar bands, The Blinders, SHEAFS, The

Rifles etc. “The band's stage show is crisp, bristling with youthful energy and a sense

that they're on exactly the same side as their audience.” (Clash).

Partnering each release with art by Ana Ban Ana, they also soundtrack footballer, Rio

Ferdinand’s 2019 movie, '90 Minutes'. ‘Cause You Got Me’ appears on the 2018 film ‘Tomb

Raider’.

2019 singles ‘I Think You Worry Too Much' (Spring) and ‘Findings’ produced by Gavin

Monaghan were both uplifting hits with music fans, playlists, radio (and sports stadiums!) with

videos by Hum Hum Production. The latter, empowering promo, became the band’s fastest

viewed so far. Music site, Travellers Tunes, reported "In times of such division, MOSES

might just be the tonic of togetherness to knit us all back together again."

Phenomenal anthems and the energetic, passionate, hearts-on-sleeve live experience are

powerfully infectious. Having completed a triumphant Spring tour, MOSES have been working

on new material and are setting up dates for winter and beyond.

Working hard to survive and build a following, this is world class entertainment that has to be

seen and heard to be believed. All faith in them is appreciated, and rewarded. “Should any

band I have heard recently be selling out stadiums in the future it is London’s MOSES.”
