100 CLUB, OXFORD STREET, LONDON REVIEW; By Geoff Wilbur USA https://geoffwilburmusic.com/tag/loose-moorings/

Loose Moorings was the first band on the stage, and what amazing power and energy this band put forth. There’s almost a bit more rock than blues in this band. Hard rocking blues guitars, great vocals that were growling at times, simply powerful tuneful at others. The best description of Loose Moorings, on this particular night at least, would be cross between The Cult and George Thorogood. They set the bar high to kick off the night with their blues-influenced, tear-the-roof-off-the-joint hard rock. Loose Moorings self-describes as “a black denim blues band that rocks!!” I can’t argue with that.

RB MAGAZINE REVIEW; http://rockbandom.com/loose-moorings/

Superb rock blues band. With everything you would expect from good old blues rock these guys will not disappoint at all. Sheer talent in both the songwriting and the music, one thing I like about them is rather than blues with rock there more rock with blues and every song depicts a story which pulls you in and keeps your ear drums transfixed for hours. Vocally superb, Lyrically supreme and the music is pure, honest, raw and passionate.

Muzic NZ Music Review by Music Author/Critic Mr Kev Roland

Rehaab song release "Fat Boy" State Highway Queen.

That is not a typo above, as the band’s name actually is Rehaab, taken from what was referred to as the traditional Blues “AAB” format, and they feel they combine Blues Rock, Blues, Stoner Blues, Funk, Rock Ballads, Psychedelic and Classic Rock, so pretty much what I grew up on then. If you were a teenager in the Seventies then blues rock was the basis of much you listened to, and when I hear music like this it always makes me feel at home. A standard four-piece, it is obvious these guys have been around the block and know exactly what they want to achieve, and I am sure it is more than just the motorcycle theme which reminds me so much of Saxon, with Roy doing a very passable take on Biff Byford, although they are more hard rock than metal.

We get that rich clean guitar sound which comes from a Gibson going through Marshalls, and I was not surprised to see that guitarist Mutt was part of Phil Rudd’s touring band at one point as he is adept at bringing in that swagger, while Grant (drums) and Larry (bass) keep it nice and simple to give us that strong platform. This could easily have been recorded live in the studio (apart from guitar overdubs) and is a blast from beginning to end. This is blues based hard rock with balls, and I can’t wait to hear more.
