With a Bang Bang Boom, The Moffatts have exploded into the world of rock 'n' roll. When the bouncy Bang Bang Boom hit No. 1 on the Canadian pop charts this past summer, it was more than just a catchy single from The Moffatts newly released CD Submodalities. The single was strategically chosen by the band to function as a bridge for a group in transition from boy band to rock band - the old Moffatts and the new. We thought we could be alienating a lot of fans. There is a new mood to the album overall, one previously unknown in Moffattland.
Spy is a look inward that reveals unhappiness with what they see.
Such dark thoughts rarely make their way into the music of teenage heartthrobs anywhere. Life isn't all roses inside the boy-band fishbowl. These songs are what we were feeling at the time. The Moffatts, who originally hail from Victoria but now live in Minot, North Dakota, and own a vacation home in Calgary, owe producer Bob Rock a great debt in recreating their sound. The Canadian, known for his contribution to bands like The Cult, Metallica and Motely Crue, pushed the boys to a new level as musicians, Scott said.
