There’s almost a bit more rock than blues in this band. Hard rocking blues guitars, great vocals that were growling at times, simply powerful tuneful at others. The best description of Loose Moorings, on this particular night at least, would be cross between The Cult and George Thorogood. They set the bar high to kick off the night with their blues-influenced, tear-the-roof-off-the-joint hard rock. Loose Moorings self-describes as “a black denim blues band that rocks!!” I can’t argue with that. RB MAGAZINE REVIEW; http://rockbandom.com/loose-moorings/ Superb rock blues band. With everything you would expect from good old blues rock these guys will not disappoint at all. Sheer talent in both the songwriting and the music, one thing I like about them is rather than blues with rock there more rock with blues and every song depicts a story which pulls you in and keeps your ear drums transfixed for hours. Vocally superb, Lyrically supreme and the music is pure, honest, raw and passionate.
