Black Moses is a trio composed of guitarist/vocalist Jim Jones , of the late Thee Hypnotics , bassist Graeme Flyn , founder member of the blues punk band Penthouse and drummer David Axford, whose credits include collaborations with Original Sinners and The Morgans . Sounding distinctly like The Who, MC 5 or even Little Richard bitten by the current garage rock'n'roll bug, this British powerhouse trio is one of those bands who will definitely appeal to anyone into the above groups/genre.
The most notable things upon first listens are the fact the guitars are in full force, the rhythm section is of course quite busy, and Jim Jones' solo playing is electrifying. Needless to say, this is prime true rock'n'roll that blazes a wonderful and powerful sound with a single drop of pretention. Songs like “Better believe”, the bouncy “She got da moves”, “Thru you” where his guitar sears and soars, teases and thrills and the soulful groove “Lose control” are instantly memorable and uplifting all at once… Above all, Jim Jones wails and screams the vocals in such a crude/raw manner that they become downright infectious. The band is able to both sound well produced and dirty, which means they can avoid that death knell of being overproduced or slick.

Black Moses has all the elements to become not just a good, but also a great band.
