Influenced by Jeff Buckley, The Cure & Echo & The Bunnymen, Moats combine a raw, homegrown sound with powerfully honest lyrics, passion & integrity.

Their track ‘Rough’ was licensed to the 8ON7 tape for Cassette Day 2014 on Rough Trade US alongside Hooton Tennis Club and Spring King. Having been voted the number one band to see at Liverpool Sound City 2015 by Get Into This as well as playing Austin City Limits Festival in Texas last year through NME, Moats are a band necessary to see live.

"It's All Indie" have continually supported Moats, featuring most new tracks on their blog along with massive support from NME who supported their performance at the world-renowned Austin City Limits Festival in Texas. They recently finished their first UK headline tour and have toured Belgium twice as well as playing a variety of UK festivals, including Liverpool Sound City, Rhythms of the World and more.
