Hailing from Canterbury, England, Moose Blood was formed in 2012 by close friends Brewerton, Mark Osborne, Glenn Harvey and Kyle Todd. United by their passion for music and love for mid 90’s emo, the band set out to create a sound that was distinctly their own. Since their inception the band has released two EPs, Moving Home and Boston/Orlando, and a split 7” with labelmates Departures with their new label No Sleep Records and has toured with bands like Appleseed Cast, I Am The Avalanche, Major League and Dads. Two short years after forming, Moose Blood returns with their impressive, debut full-length record, I’ll Keep You In Mind, From Time To Time.

“I'll Keep You In Mind, From Time To Time is everything that we've been working towards since the start of the band in 2012,” says drummer Glenn Harvey. “I think there is a much more personal and honest feel to this record than on anything else we've done up to this point. Seeing these songs turn from ideas at our practice space to a finished 11 track album has been an incredible experience. We're all really proud of this record and we can't wait for everybody to finally hear it.”

Moose Blood aren’t afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves. Produced by Saosin guitarist Beau Burchell, I’ll Keep You In Mind, From Time To Time is replete with heartfelt, yearning lyrics about life and love that exude vulnerability with a comforting warmth. The record moves through waves of emotion from the pensive opening balad “Cherry” to the follow-up upbeat tempo of “Anyway,” sailing through the mounting crescendos of “I Hope You’re Missing Me” to the memorable, driving rhythm of “Swim Down.” With each chorus and riff, I’ll Keep You In Mind, From Time To Time draws listeners in with its unrelenting honesty and intense passion. 2014 will undoubtedly be the year Moose Blood makes their everlasting mark on the alternative rock scene.

The song of the week theme was about Laika who was a dog that was sent into space on a one way suicide mission. So I wrote the first verse about that and then the other verses about how we treat animals badly.  I'm not a vegan because I am also an inferior  like the final verse covers, but I definitely think it's a good thing to do.

The music is pretty rough because I just write any old crap for song of the week. 

Inferior Being

Superior being
Dying in space
Not a mistake
Only part of a race
No food for days
To squeeze her in place

If she had a voice
To communicate
Inferior being
Would still find a way
To not hear her pain
Or shoe it away

The funny thing is
They think they're the highest
The funny thing is
They think they're the highest
It’s like they're being watched
And life is a big test
The craziest part
They think that they’re acing it

Superior being
Pacing his cage
The bitter taste
Of the rust on his chains
Longing for space
And the other apes

They teach him a trick
Then beat him for it
Inferior being
Has got a big stick
So he thinks he's the shit
Licking his lips

The funny thing is
He thinks he's the highest
The funny thing is
He thinks he's the highest
It’s like he's being watched
And life is a big test
The craziest part
He thinks that he’s acing it

Scrambling to heaven
Trampling to hell
They reproduce like rabbits

Trying to save the planet
By trying to spare themselves
Is healing fruit with maggots

Superior being
Scraped off a plate
Would you take comfort
In going to waste
Or that they had prayed
Thanked god for your taste

Inferior beings
Lie to themselves
Say that your stupid
With no sense of self
And your corpse on the shelf
Is needed for health

The funny thing is
We think we’re the highest
The funny thing is
We think we’re the highest
It’s like we’re being watched
And life is a big test
The craziest part
We think that we’re acing it
