You can't tell the story of 2016's music year without mentioning MOOSE BLOOD. The band from Canterbury, Kent, released their second record BLUSH back in August 2016 and have since then been proving that emo in the style of Brand New and The Get Up Kids is still a relevant sound. They even unsurprisingly took the charts by storm, with BLUSH (Hopeless Records) reaching #10 in the British charts. It's fair to say this level of success isn't too common for a band of less than five years. Having started back in August 2012, Moose Blood released their demo EP BUKOWSKI DEMO in the same month and - After some more extended plays - Subsequently releasing their debut I'LL KEEP YOU IN MIND, FROM TIME TO TIME in 2014 (later performing at the VANS Warped Tour 2015).
