When a band have as much hype surrounding them as Moose Blood, naturally questions begin to surface about these new rookies and what exactly makes them so special. Killer vocals surfaced upon nostalgically honest riffs? Gut wrenching lyrics that hit you straight where it hurts? Dozens of GIFs that are uploaded to Tumblr every minute? Perhaps all three. That and the fact they’re a band that sound so jaggedly in sync with each other, when they stride on stage it’s hard to believe they’ve been together for only two years.
Instantly turning the crowd into a devoted, chaotic mess, the vast emotion that the Canterbury rockers songs trigger creates everything from borderline tears to adrenaline fueled passion. Tissues, optional.
From older material like ‘Boston’ to punchier hits like ‘I Hope You’re Missing Me’, each song rockets effortlessly into the next with fans flying through the crowd as they scramble to get up on stage.

As each devotee howls the lyrics of the sombre ‘Cherry’ – a track that vocalist Eddy Brewerton holds close to his heart – the front man couldn’t look more moved and holds his head down low.
Sure, the set finished a little quickly, but there’s nothing like a short but sweet ending to highlight a sense of intimacy and admiration between a band and their fans. Particularly when it’s the fans that have allowed Moose Blood to soar to dizzying heights at a rapid and extreme pace.
