BLOG: HALF MOON RUN IN SESSION AT MAIDA VALE

A real talented band from Canada, Half Moon Run, have four live tracks recorded in session at Maida Vale. Performing for BBC Radio 1 last week, they're a band to keep an eye on because I like their music a lot. I've listened to their recent debut album "Dark Eyes" a couple times and it's very good. There's a familiar comfort in their warm sound of folk-rock guitars but combined with chilling vocal harmonies and a drum/percussion score that keeps you rooted and attentive, it's an original vibe that is nothing short of cool. "Call Me In The Afternoon" is their lead single off their album and a right tune at that. They play Shepherds Bush in London come November and I'm extremely tempted to see their outfit live – this clip from Maida Vale doing wonders for encouragement. Check them out and watch out for their growing presence in the coming year. I like; and Huw Stephens approves.
