The band have recently joined the roster of Cityscape Records and are currently working away on a new album. The bands first release on Cityscape will be the e.p. 'The Catcher' --watch this space for further details. Moore Marriott's debut album 'Back Up & Bounce' is some what of an undiscovered gem, packed with intelligent, feel good pop and melancholic strings.'If you like Crowded House, flugal horns, harmonicas, infectious arrangements and soulful song-writing you may well be on the verge of a discovery here. Moore Marriott have grace and real integrity & songs like Colours of the Sun & Last Mistake deserve a wider audience. Check them out.'
