MySpace a place for friends

If there was one word that could sum up the character of Moving Atlas, it would be “Determined”. Not only is this band a staple in the Texas music scene, they have also made a name for themselves internationally, and overcome many obstacles on their road to finding an identity. With several line-up changes & the untimely death of friend and former drummer, Matt Baker, Moving Atlas was blessed to fill his shoes with longtime musician and drummer, Ross Rubio. More or less, it was the end of a chapter and the beginning of another for this Dallas quintet, ultimately leading to the critically acclaimed “Elephant Gun E.P.” and an 8th Annual Independent Music Awards nomination for best Metal / Hard Rock song, “Parachute”. Look for Moving Atlas to add to their collection of progressive hard-rock songs with an early 2009 release.

If that would be the case I can promise you Moving Atlas doesn't share that fear because they seem too be busy getting it right. One of the pitfalls may young bands have is simply doing the same thing over and over again to where if there wasn't a space between the songs, you'd not be sure there was even a change. However, Moving Atlas can change it up and get your attention. While The Elephant Gun is just a 5 song EP, it already shows a mix of maturity....

Moving Atlas live review: Graham Central Station (Plaza) Odessa,TX Sat. June 21st
Jesse (The Bogart) Contreras

Clutch. King's X. Rush. Tool. Led Zeppelin. What do these bands have in common? The one thing that comes to my mind is that they sound like no other. Oh, these particular bands have their influences, but as they evolutionized they morphed into something that no other band could duplicate, and cover bands tend to stray away. Enter Moving Atlas. This band hailing from Dallas, TX. has been leaving their musical stamp all over this great state. In my opinion, they have joined the ranks, or will by the time I'm done writing this, of those aforementioned bands.....
