About the Moods

Born out of a musical experiment in North Manchester?s Boomshack Studios in early 2014, The Moods quickly gathered members and momentum. A dizzying amalgamation of producers and poets, they swiftly honed their very own sound, which, when taken live, quite simply blew their audiences away. It wasn't long before they attracted the attention of local radio stations and journalists like John Robb and Terry Christian, too.
