Limerick based Moscowmetro are due to release their EP Spirit of A City on April 11.
Meeting through mutual friends, the quartet’s early rehearsals took place in a storage warehouse; a ten foot by ten foot metal box that shook with sound vibrations, leading to the inspiration for the name Moscowmetro.
Described as post punk revival/shoe gaze, Moscowmetro’s music deals with explores several dark themes such as feeling trapped by your situation, death and loss, social tensions and escaping the aftermath of a failed relationship. Their aspiration when song writing is to connect to these subjects and try to release them. Taking inspiration from every aspect of life from The National to Blade Runner, Walt Whitman to The Cure.
