History
Moose Blood formed in August 2012 and self-released a demo, Bukowski Demo (Summer '12), in the same month. On 11 February 2013, an EP, Moving Home, was released through Fist in the Air.[1] "Boston" and "Orlando" were released together as a single through Venn Records[2] on 26 April.[3] The band released a split EP with Departures through No Sleep on 12 November.[4] On 16 April 2014, it was announced that the band had signed to No Sleep and would release their debut album later in the year.[5] In May, the band supported I Am the Avalanche on their tour of the UK.[6] Their debut album I'll Keep You in Mind, From Time to Time charted at number 45 on the US Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[7] They played on the 2015 Warped Tour.
Moose Blood announced in January 2016 that they would be touring the UK throughout April 2016, supported by The Winter Passing and Greywind.[8] The tour - which would include headline shows at venues such as the O2 Academy Islington in London, and Joiners in Southampton - ended up selling out before it had begun.[9] Moose Blood announced, via their Facebook and Twitter accounts, on 13 April that they had signed to Hopeless Records for their second album.[10] On 17 April that the first single titled "Honey" was played on the Radio 1 Rock Show as the Rockest Record. Eddy also announced that the new album would be released on 5 August and would be titled Blush.[11]
Musical style
Alex DiVincenzo of AbsolutePunk called Moose Blood an emo band[2] and stated that their 2013 EP Moving Home is "like a combination of Brand New's Deja Entendu, The Get Up Kids' Something to Write Home About and American Football's self-titled."[12]
Accolades
"Honey" was nominated for Best Track at the 2016 Kerrang! Awards.[13]
