Moose Blood hail from Canterbury, but their brand of alt-rock throbs with all the restlessness and gutsy passion of American emo. Since they came together in 2012, the outfit have kept things simple and scrappy, placing a hearty emphasis on big guitars and anthemic moves. Riffs drive, splinter and burst into cascading jangle, while lead singer Eddy Brewerton pleads and cries about life and love's many insecurities and tribulations. The band's secret weapon is their melodic ebullience, which has a way of burrowing deep into the listener's heart.
