The Moods have released a new anthem for the times we now live in in the form of “P.O.P. (Profit over People)”. Sadly, this is more than true, but it needs to be pointed out in order to be defied. The Moods perform this task with a reverence for rebellion and a regard for history that only a true indie band can achieve. The track is 3:36 of electronic declaration and rhyming rebellion with the charisma of musical guerillas. This will put you in ‘The Moods” for a movement.

‘There are about half a dozen spectacular Manchester bands and The Moods are one of them’
– Clint Boon, XS Radio‘A truly down-to-earth band with an infectious charisma that creates a visible brotherhood on stage. Each one feeds off the others, elevating the energy with each song.’
– Dana Miller, the Music Site.‘Wow! The Track “JOY” is a Seriously Huge Tune’
– Frank Arkwright, Abbey Road Studios‘Wow, this is like The Specials on speed! It has the same political statement that Ghost Town had at the time of all that unrest in the early 80s. To say I love it would be the understatement of the year! It’s refreshingly different, I’ve heard nothing like it and it’s well produced too! Awesome track:-).’
– Chris Straw, Bauer Radio Producer.
