Amazing! The next big thing........2004-08-04
This EP is simply great. It's just a bummer that there are only 4 songs on it. Fortunately, MU is working on their first major label record right now, and it should be out in a few months. I predict that these guys will be the next big band. If you like the Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Irving, etc, check out this record. Very "cool" "hip" garage rock. And it's only a couple bucks. What have you to lose?
Fun.......2004-02-09
Hot Hot Heat is a good band to compare Moving Units to, but they are in no uncertain terms "the same". The songs on this EP are catchy and upbeat, with a distinctive vocal sound. On the first listen you will toe-tap, on the second you'll hum along, and by the third time around you'll be familiar with lines like, "Hello...okay...hello...let's play" and "let's go...to the...disco...for melo...drama." You'll be tickled by Moving Units take on the club scene and social relationships. This is a near-perfect grouping of songs, faulted only by the songs overlapping eachother in pace. An excellent buy for the price.
Moving Units!!!.......2004-01-13
Well, Moving Units I think is the best band so far if its on stage or just listening to them all of the band members are great just like their music.... If you like Hot Hot Heat you'll love the units..
Hey, not bad.......2004-01-06
For four songs under 5 minutes each, I'm not going to kill you with a massive word count here, but the Moving Units are definitely worth mentioning. Take equal parts Strokes and Rapture with a dash of Interpol, make them Californian, and you'd get something pretty close to this EP. Yep, there's ZERO innovation here, but they do it so much better than all the other 2nd-tier wannabe disco-punks that you'll forgive 'em (you'll put away your Erase Errata and Go Go Go Airheart albums for sure); at best, on track one, they nearly match their influences, with an infectiously danceable bassline straight out of "Echoes", some minor key wailing cribbed from "Turn on the Bright Lights", and a melodic chorus that's pure Strokes. If you like this stuff, it's guaranteed to hit the spot. No masterpiece, for sure, but at the price it's an absolute STEAL.
