While You Were Gone

Someone once said "To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven." In first hearing While You Were Gone's "Winter/Summer" EP, it's like sharing in that glimpse. The EP is the bands debut after a year long break for guitarist Anthony Moore and singer Misty Gray to get married. The product of life experiences no doubt, "Winter/Summer" tugs at your heart and invites you into the world of two people madly in love. The emotions run wild through the 5 song disc ranging from the uncertainties and excitement of first love demonstrated in "We Were So Young" to the intense passion of marriage brought forth by "Winter/Summer". The EP dropped in Sept 09 to much acclaim by indie critics. The five Houstonians making up the indie/emotional rock band have come together as a family after years of searching for just the right fit. The husband/wife duo leading the band as a writing team have been playing music together for the past 8 years and added brother John Moore heading up the bass 5 years or so back. The family ties have proven to be effective in bringing out the best in the band. "We have always been about each other even more than the music itself" says Misty. The long awaited EP has already stirred up some major internet attention mainly in the underground indie arena due in particular to Misty's longing, romantic vocal performance throughout the disc. The band has really grown up and grown together through the making of the EP and the musicianship is truly evident. From the melodic, dreamlike guitar riffs and almost haunting vocal melodies, to the message of desire and contentment in relationships, "Winter/Summer" welcomes you from the first note played and keeps you warm and safe to the end.
