" As an indication of a band well worth keeping an eye out for, LET ME KNOW is a demo that announces The Moot as a duo with the songs, style and attitude to believe in. " Uk Music Search
" Like all good lovers, The Moot keep their promises and this is a fully-realised vision: charming, disarming and oddly poignant, with a masterful understanding of mood so it stays fresh throughout…this reviewer stumbles off now, punch-drunk, thunderstruck and hopelessly in love." Jay Lawrance Sandman Magazine
" the band's clear ear for a simple uplifting pop ditty shines through...a good producer could easily turn this into the sound of the summer." Richard Garnett, Leeds Music Scene
" their songs are immediately recognisable and catchy enough to kick around in your headspace long after the track’s finished playing. " Andrew Burden, Glasswerk
" a very, very good band " Alan Raw, BBC Raw Talent Show
"If reggae is your thing then The Moot cannot help but impress." Simon Butler, efestivals.com
"“The Way It Is” its got a lovely little groove and bounce to it and quite frankly it won’t leave my head.
If you enjoy a good laid back beat and are looking for something a bit different go for Moot." John Siwicki, Comfort Comes
The Moot are a very talented 2 piece female DIY band from the UK with their very own original blend of Moot Music combining elements of Reggae,Pop, Funk, Ska,Soul,Blues and Nu Jazz.

Lead Singer and Guitarist Clare’s fantastic technique and song writing ability combined with Eryl's Drumming make for one of the most unique interesting lively music experiences you will come across.
