Zoom on Mosa Wild

MOSA WILD

The wild riders of the alternative wave

While many bands come and go, the brand new British quarter Mosa Wild starts their journey with a fresh breath of air that will get you hooked.

The new generation of rock-alternative bands has arrived. After witnessing the quick rise of bands like Imagine Dragons, Flor or Lovelytheband, it’s Mosa Wild’s turn to take the industry by storm. Mosa Wild has all the ingredients needed to define the British music landscape and lead the new wave of young alternative bands trying to make their mark into the current music landscape.

Mosa Wild take what Britian has best to create their own sound and so far it’s a triumph!

The quartet is comprised of Jim Rubaduka (Lead vocal/ guitar/keys), Alex Stevens (guitar), Edwin Ireland (bass) and Charlie Campbell (drums). The story began at school when Jim and Alex decided to make music together and formed a project named The Intermission Project while they were debating on whether to go to university or just make music. A year later, the two young artists met their two other bandmates Charlie and Edwin and ended the Intermission Project for something different. Mosa Wild is born.

“I remember Jim supporting a band and I didn’t know he could sing or play guitar. But the two songs he played were absolute bangers.” says Alex.

The frontman taught himself how to sing. At home he and his brother would make mixtapes in their joint bedroom while recording songs off the radio. “I remember making a mixtape for a crush when I was about eight years-old.” What was on the tape? “Do you know Babyface?” he laughs.

After releasing their first track “Smoke”, Mosa Wild continued shaping their own artistry while improving their individual musicianship to impress and inspire one another. If Jim taught himself to sing, the band learned how to be a band their own way, by experimenting, complementing each other and growing up together as musicians and humans.

Last march, the band unveiled their second track “Night” which shows a different side of the band and showcased at the same time the band’s ability to write powerful hooks along with a Rock N’Roll sonorous sonic styling. “This night is long, and my fire’s burning out. Help me be strong” is an indisputable anthem.

Produced by Jim Abbiss who’s worked on iconic albums such as Arctic Monkey’s Whatever People Say and Adele’s 19, “Night” and its guitar riffs is an incredible stand out and gives the tone of the band’s forthcoming EP “Talking In Circles” coming out August 2nd, while building a special momentum.

After opening for Maggie Roggers and LANY in the UK, the band intoxicating music flavor is ready to expand - and we can’t wait to hear more.
