Moving Mountains is a rock band from Purchase, New York. Combining emotional vocals with elements of post-rock, the band has often been compared to such acts as The Appleseed Cast and Thrice. Moving Mountains was formed in Westchester, New York in 2005 by Gregory Dunn (guitar/vocals) and Nicholas Pizzolato (drums). A self-titled demo was leaked to the public in early 2006 and their debut album ''Pneuma'' was released independently in early 2007. Later that year, Frank Graniero (guitar/vocals) and Mitchell Lee (bass) completed the band’s line-up. In 2008, ''Pneuma'' was reissued by Deep Elm Records. After much delay, a new EP entitled ''Foreword'' was released on December 11, 2008. Their second full-length album ''Waves'' was released May 10, 2011 on Triple Crown Records. Their self-titled third full-length album ''Moving Mountains'' was released on September 10, 2013 on Triple Crown Records. In October of 2015, it was announced that the band is doing a split album with New Jersey-based band Prawn which is coming out on November 27th, 2015 and have since released a single from that split. == Music == An excerpt from their Myspace.com profile explains how they approach their musical endeavors: "For some bands, there is a core vision and purpose that shines through from beginning to the end. For others, there is an evolution of an idea, a constant metamorphosis whose end and scope is unknown. For Moving Mountains, the evolution not only encapsulates their music, but a larger overarching concept of what defines ‘Moving Mountains’. That isn’t to say that the Purchase, NY quartet have an artier than thou complex, but it does touch on an evolving aesthetic undercurrent and a belief that a band can create an experiential vision that goes beyond music." Their musical style is reminiscent of The Appleseed Cast.〔(Interview with Joseph Sannicandro ). The Silent Ballet, March 6, 2007〕 Their influences include Hammock and The Album Leaf.〔(Interview with Matt Pagirsky ). The Daily Chorus, July 28, 2007〕 Moving Mountains tracks “Aphelion,” “Fourth,” and “8105” have been used on MTV’s College Life, 16 and Pregnant, and Teen Mom. “Aphelion” has been used for a trailer for AMC’s television drama series Mad Men. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moving Mountains (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
