Contact Mo

Like a bunch of Roy Castles

About Me

'...these guys are on fire. ..great sounds. ..would recommend getting to see them. ..' Our mate Lindsey

"Like Jodrell Bank staring up into the sky, Contact Mo are epic stargazers, building melodious waves of swirling guitar like a less oppressive Longview or a more intense Elbow. Just like Guy Garvey’s lads, they’ve also been plugging away for the best part of a decade without much luck coming their way. However, if the rest of their set list is anything like the three swoonsome beauties they’ve got on their demo, they might just find that an increasing number of people will be soon making first contact." The Great Unheard, BBC Manchester"Without doubt the best unsigned performance I've seen in Manchester this year". Gig reviews and comments at listentomanchester.co.uk.'Who the fuck are contact mo?... 'NME

'Their quieter moments bring a tear to a glass eye... 'James Blunt

Based in Manchester, UK, Contact Mo have been recording and moulding a sound truly like no other, the trouble is even they can't figure it out. Their latest sounds have been added to the music player, a collective mix of .........and .......... Have a listen and get in touch. Contact Mo are uncomfortable talking about themselves in the 3rd person but do it all the same. Peace and Love, the 'Mo Team x
