Based out of Purchase, New York, post-rock band Moving Mountains have made a name for themselves with their expansive approach to songwriting, building on the atmospheric, emo-infused sound of bands like the Appleseed Cast. In 2007, Moving Mountains made their proper debut on their first full-length effort, Pneuma, which was initially self-released before eventually being put out through Deep Elm Records. The band released the Foreword EP in 2008 and began touring heavily, setting out on the road with like-minded bands like Thursday and the Dear Hunter before eventually being invited to join the Vans Warped Tour in 2011. Later that year, the band released its sophomore full-length, Waves, through Triple Crown Records. ~ Gregory Heaney
