Album Notes

Based in the District of Columbia, The Moderate assumes the unique brand of alt-country power trio. Washington’s City Paper praises the blend of Jim Dempsey’s “twangy electric guitar and cracked vocals—a honey-thick drawl that sounds like John Hiatt swallowed Jeff Tweedy”, a combo perfectly complemented by the haunting “Big Sky Country” rhythms pounded out by bassist Mike Maloney and drummer Drew Marks. Shifting effortlessly between Nashville shuffles and Zeppelin-esque bombast, The Moderate hints at a sound one might describe as “if Cream did Cash”. Raleigh Metro Magazine proclaims that the three-piece “radiates a unique feel that blends a modern, alternative soundscape with solid down-home songwriting”.
