This song and video are fantastic! La Moxie is a band which hears the drumbeat of everyday comedy and dances to it like everyone is watching. And we should be watching, because they’re really cool, especially the singer, the horny drummer and the guy who does the side eye. The other (ultimate rock) dude is cool too. He probably speaks four languages.
“If I Fall is my interpretation of the battle I have in my head which comes with being in love whilst having a mental illness,” says Lauren who sings and plays guitar in the band. This song means crazy loads to me because Alexei sings all the backing vocals and I wrote it when I felt like I was pushing him away.”
“We DIYd the video in our practice space,” she continues. “We used a 5 year old iPhone taped to a mic stand and edited on a 5 year old Android phone for balance. We love how it turned out and feel it represents the 4 of us perfectly in both personality and collective bank balances.”
La Moxie is the above-mentioned Lauren, Nathaniel (drums and libido), Alexei (guitar and steely-eyed cynicism) and Ryan (bass and gratuitous hair metal intro speeches). They’re from Birmingham and self-describe as skate punk though Lauren is the only one who skates. They’ve only been doing this since last summer and have been lucky enough to play with The Bombpops, Petrol Girls, The Creepshow and Nervus.
Go and sin no more.
