We like riffs and we like fisting people….

Seventies heavy rock bands like Sabbath, Grand Funk, Rush, Leafhound etc… as well as your stoner rock staples like Kyuss, Clutch, Sleep and Fu Manchu.

It’s actually very cheap as he lives off nothing but riffs and we have fuck loads of those.
Riff Fist asks Moth…
1. How would you describe the type of music you play?
It’s a kind of a unintentional blend of metal, stoner rock and blues but crew hear all types of different styles in it. We aren’t really sure what it is, but we refer to it as stoner hate rock.
2. Where did the name Moth come from?
Our guitarist came up with it blind drunk at The Tote one night.
3. What can the average punter expect from a Moth gig?
To be aurally violated with brutal tunes, demonic vocals and still being somewhat entertained.
4. Where can I score one of those sweet Moth hoodies?
Sweet they are… you can pick one up from any of our shows, along with other merch or go to our web page mothmetal.com, everything is in the merch store there.
