Friday 8th September, saw Manchester "The Moods" bring down the house down, at the Iconic 02Ritz in manchester. They launched their "Missing Peace Album" and also hosted a DJs set and fans/industry after party, at the exclusive Tribecca Bar till the early hours of saturday morning. "You can always tell a good gig when the "Ticket Touts" are outside clamouring for "Spare Tickets". Well they were few and far between, as this was a packed house"

The Moods interviewed for louder than war said “Our album launch gig at the O2 Ritz was unbelievable! It is a night that we will remember for a long, long time. The energy in the building all night was crazy. The place was absolutely bouncing! We had some brilliant bands play before us as well and it all helped to create something that will live long in the memory for everyone who was there.”

A dance-driven hip-hop collective who crash through the barriers of genre and bring in the best of alt-rock, rap and grime into their mixes. Meet The Moods: a ten-piece from Manchester who are getting audiences in the mood too… proved by a packed-out album launch on 8 September at the O2 Ritz. 

After a summer of sold out shows, festivals, BBC introducing radio plays, tens of thousands of spotify streams,  and their music played on over 30+ regional and student radio stations, the Mighty Moods, Bring there infectious live party to UK for a new autumn tour. The Tour is to promote the bands new Album - Missing Peace- released on the Manchester based A1M record label 29th September. All bodes well for a massive “Missing Peace”tour this autumn, brass, beats and classical strings blend with reggae, rap and stunning vocals to deliver memorable performances, you will not want to miss !. 

"So if you need music with real grit and substance, here's the band with something to say about the important stuff like life, death, famine, war and love".

Following on from the celebratory, muscle-moving momentum of their single ‘Joy’ earlier this year, what makes The Moods stand out is their ability to share those positive Mancunian vibes whilst avoiding nostalgia and embracing the contemporary.

Their new album ‘Missing Peace’ is packed with socially-aware, often anthemic, ever-intelligent tunes including the single ‘P.O.P’ (Profit Over People) which exposes capitalist corruption whilst keeping catchy. A combination of social sensibility and serious rhythm which shows a refreshing step away from those guitar-heavy bands we may associate with homegrown Manchester.
