What's your all calling post-rock is just bands who aren't alike most of rock bands these days. It cannot be far of post-rock, this band is really different. (Don't judge only this song.)
Just saw these guys with Thrice.... fantastic band! Drop the emo comments, and open your eyes to good music, or get lost, whatever's easier... If they're not singing about hating their dad's or wanting to cut themselves, then they're not emo. Simple.
This song is actually beyond unreal... I honestly just started listening to them and can't stop. I'm so glad good music still exists out there, I'm getting fed up with all this new techno/house/modern bullshit. These guys are amazing. I SALUTE YOU MOVING MOUNTAINS!
@ EVERYONE!! emo = emotional. thats all... music, paintings, ANYTHING that shows emotion. The term "emo" comes from "the man" needing a label for something "the man" isn't familiar with... stop buying in to it.. just listen to the song and enjoy! =D thx
@mattkolmer sorry, but my i don't think ANY musicial genre should ever carry the term "emo".... but enough said about that... this song is amazing! =D yay!
Hey, I work for a small music blog called Put a Bird on It Music and will be interviewing Moving Mountains at the Warped Tour tomorrow (8/13/11 at the Gorge in WA). Instead of doing last-minute research on all the bands we're interviewing and asking the same re-hashed questions, we figured we'd reach out to fans for any real questions they wanted asked :) reply in the comments or PM me with questions for MM, if you do the latter I can send you a link to the interview when its done! Thanks!
@SoreThroatVocals yes it is. the band's main influence is the appleseed cast, who combined emo and post-rock in a sound sort of like this. so yes, it is. just because you're sensitive to the tag doesn't mean it's not there.
@SoreThroatVocals thats what i call ignorant... emo all started in the '80s, and was a sub genre of Punk Rock. It had nothing ''core''. Emocore is Emo mixed with Hardcore or Metalcore. Emocore came a lot later than the basic Emo genre. Listen to Brand New, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessionnal... thats approximately what emo sounded in the beginning. So yeah, i think Moving Mountains was a bit inspired by the emo genre. Emo doesnt mean Hardcore nor Metal or whatever.
@zegunmaster you are not well read up my friend. emo originated in the mid-80's in the DC-hardcore scene. it was sometimes referred to as "emotional hardcore", and most bands you name also REJECTED the false genre.
never heard of this band til i saw last week that they were playing with thrice. then i accidently heard them this week on warped tour. now i have all their music. nothing like that feeling of finding a new favorite band
Who cares what genre they are? Still awesome music. And I love their new album, it's a definite shift from their past stuff, but it's a change I can appreciate.
@totlamaddd Very true. I really like the way that they incorporate so many Post-y elements in their music without being a full-blown Post band. I was just making a joke about Post-Rock.
@LostInNumbersMusic well i think youd be surprised to hear that they are amazing live..... as they bring every single piece of equipment they need + more.
@DecentPVP Oh yeah I can guess hah I've seen some videos where they have the lights and everything, just saying that it's a bit silly wanting to get a raw bass sound as good as a studio one.
I love how Usher's pathetic excuse for a song titled "Moving Mountains" has 7.5 million plays on his Myspace. That is only one song. Where as Moving Mountains the band, who makes real passionate, deep, meaningful, inspirational music only has 1 million plays total of all the songs on their Myspace. Just goes to show how fucked up the music industry is.
I love playing this song on drums... I want to do a video of it, and post it as a reply. I think it's one of the most fun songs to play... just wish my band mates could figure out the guitars so we could play it live...
This band is AMAZING live. Seen so many band live and I must say this was one of my favorite concerts. Also extremely humble guys and very happy to see fellow fans. Can only say good things about them and I hope to see more of them in the future. Keep it up guys.
Teen mom 2 brought me here & i found a new band i like these guys so much
