The Moon & The Tide, are a weighty six-piece indie pop outfit coming in from the outer reaches of London/Loughton, Essex borders. Just about to release their official debut single, 'We Can Dance (All Night)', on February 2, they have already picked up airplay by way of BBC Radio 2 (Dermot O'Leary show) and BBC Introducing Essex.
Formed early last spring, four of the members sharing the same school at one point and although not friends, knew each other from studying in the same music group. A few years on and all came together again, "and wanted to write music which we all listen to and had a passion for something positive with good vibes and that's when we started The Moon And The Tide."
Te band put out an initial release, 'Please Don't Go', from where they started to receive positive reviews, with one writer describing them as sounding like "a slightly jollier version of Dry the River" - a not too off-the-mark appraisal - and elsewhere alikened to "80's 'landscape' indie pop."
'We Can Dance (All Night)' shows they appear to have tightened up their sound, and with its danceable beats, catchy singalong chorus - and some snazzy "woa"'s dropped in here and there - it makes for a radio-and ear-friendly winner.
The Moon & The Tide play The Garage, London on March 7.
The Moon & The Tide are: Joseph Butler - vocals/guitar, Daniel Clark - guitar/synth, Daniel Thake - guitar, Tom Hutchin - keys, Joshua Nunn - bass, Louis Day - drums.
