They say good things take time, and Eight's debut album Moving has been over five years in the making. Eight formed in 1996 and let their sound mature over the past Eight years. Eight have a rock sound that is so catchy it will stay with you for a long time. It's powerful and dynamic and performed with heart and passion. Build was the band's first release in 1998, an independent demo of both live performances and recorded tracks. All copies of the demo sold out. Their first single Whale was released in 2001, then Moments Gone hit in 2002, and in 3003 the four track Shift EP was released (which included third inde-pendent single Shift and Che Fu's remix of Moments Gone). After signing to Sony BMG. Moving lives up to all the anticipation. Along with the aforementioned singles there are some absolute gems, like Get Over It, Warm, Fall Apart, and the smoldering title track, Moving. The sound is precise, clear and quite sim-ply, so unified and together that it reminds one of a more rock'n'roll-type Dimmer. Paul Russell, formerly of Supergroove and Che Fu & The Krates, is the best drummer in New Zealand. He, along with guitarist Chris Cope set a platform for Bruce Conlon's tearing vocals. Moving is a welcome addition to New Zealand music, and will be a standout Kiwi album for years to come.
