Have You Heard: The Moving Stills

"We played a comp last year to get into Mountain Sounds and had to leave the venue because of our age minutes before they announced the winners."

Answered by: Tom Mahler

When did you start making music and why? I started writing when I was around 13. Since then it has quickly become a big part of my week, mainly because it's something I enjoy doing; great way to let things out.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Indie alternative surf rock.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Hard one, but Holy Holy's When The Storms Would Come is sitting pretty high for me. Just a great album full of great songs. The lyrics are perfect and everything works.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? We played a comp last year to get into Mountain Sounds and had to leave the venue because of our age minutes before they announced the winners. We heard that we won from the street, through the smoking area door.

Why should people come and see your band? We have some new songs and are working towards building a solid live set.

When and where for your next gig? 6 Feb at Oxford Art Factory supporting Ocean Alley. The Mountain Sounds to follow.
