Before I get started, I have to be honest with you guys: I feel a bit of trepidation including this album in our ICYMI series. Those of you out there that know who Moving Mountains are LOVE them, and I mean ferociously so. I’ve only ever heard two responses when Moving Mountains are brought up; either “they’re amazing”, or “who the hell are Moving Mountains?” I don’t know if I’ve ever really heard a bad word spoken about them, except in response to their rather sudden and supposedly permanent hiatus. So those that fall into the former category, this will be a sort of ‘duh’ article for you – of course you know this album, and of course you know it’s awesome. For the rest of you, I’m going to need your undivided attention for a few minutes.

Every city has their hometown heroes – those bands they’re going to cheer on no matter where they go, be it the other side of the world or that shitty VFW down the street. They’re so meaningful to so many different people that the very idea of them brings a city together, rallying behind them in support of every show, every new album, every single.

When I lived in Boston, we were incredibly lucky to have a huge and diverse music scene. Everything from post-hardcore and metal to pop-punk and hardcore was equally represented. Hell, we can even lay claim to some extremely talented progressive and post-rock bands.
