If there was one word that could sum up the character of Moving Atlas, it would be “Determined”. Not only is this band a staple in the Texas music scene, they have also made a name for themselves internationally, and overcome many obstacles on their road to finding an identity. With several line-up changes & the untimely death of friend and former drummer, Matt Baker, Moving Atlas was blessed to fill his shoes with longtime musician and drummer, Ross Rubio. More or less, it was the end of a chapter and the beginning of another for this Dallas quintet, ultimately leading to the critically acclaimed “Elephant Gun EP” and an 8th Annual Independent Music Awards nomination for best Metal / Hard Rock song, “Parachute”.
