Page 2: Like This”, gained over 100 - Major Moment...“Today we premiere a cover of Linkin Park’s “Leave Out All The Rest” by Boston-based modern rock act, Major Moment. […] All

Spearheaded by two Russian-born vocalists, award-winning Major Moment has developed an intense and diverse cinematic rock soundscape that integrates heavy guitar riffs, multi-layered synths, and melodic vocals. This Boston-based hard rock / alt. metal band is on a mission to inspire people to pursue their dreams and live a life of purpose. With their 2018 debut EP, one small stEP, the band won “Best Rock Album of the Year” at the IMEA Awards, won “Best Rock Production” and was nominated for “Best Lyric Video” at the Independent Music Awards. 2 songs off the EP were also nominated for “Best Rock” and “Best Production” at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards. In January 2019 Major Moment were invited to perform on Hilton stage at the NAMM Show in L.A. To keep the momentum going, the band followed up with their sophomore EP, The Sequel. Its first single, “Living Your Life Like This”, gained over 100K streams on Spotify in its first month, and over 330K lifetime. Another feature track “May Leave Scars” won The Lennon Award and “Best Rock Song” at the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Motivated by success, Major Moment released their highly-anticipated new single “The Flood” on July 10th, 2020 to an overwhelmingly positive response from fans and media worldwide. The song was premiered on Idobi Radio, with its cinematic and heavy lyric video premiering on Alternative Press, who called “The Flood” “100db wake-up call” and praised the band’s awareness of social issues. The single has quickly found its way to a regular rotation of dozens of radio stations, and over 1200 Spotify playlists, including Loudwire’s “Weekly Wire”, quickly approaching the 100K streams mark. Its music video is scheduled to be released in October 2020. Major Moment is nominated for “Rock Artist of the Year” at the 2020 Boston Music Awards, alongside artists such as PVRIS, Clairo, Joyner Lucas, Caspian, Pile, etc. “The Flood” is also a running semi-finalist of the UK Songwriting Contest. “No Fear”, the band’s upcoming single is scheduled to be released on November 6th, just days after the Presidential Election in the US, and is talking about the importance of finding your voice, and seeing beyond left or right, black or white. Despite the whole world and the music industry submerged in the pandemic madness, Major Moment is planning to keep releasing new music and videos frequently, make connections with fans, and is determined to stay true to their mission: inspiring young people and bringing a positive message out there.

“Considering the destructive messages modern pop culture carelessly brings to society, we feel it’s our social responsibility to deliver an alternative message. One of love, trust, believing in ourselves and supporting one another.”

In addition to “one small stEP”, Major Moment created an emotional tribute to the late Chester Bennington, “Leave Out All The Rest”. The music video for this song was released as a standalone asset to support the mission of a suicide prevention campaign, 320 Changes Direction. Produced by the Grammy-nominated Project 2 Studios, the video now has over 1M views. In October 2019, this music video was selected and screened as part of the Tri-Cities International Film Festival. Major Moment’s team includes: producer and mixing engineer Kevin Billingslea (Lamb of God, Trivium, Vanna, Valleyheart), and the 6-time Grammy Award winning mastering virtuoso Adam Ayan (Linkin Park, Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Katy Perry, etc).

RELEASES:

“Major Moment is a band with a high chance to break out. Their vocal melodies are very easy to like, and with high appeal to the average music fan it would be a surprise if this wasn’t a song you put on repeat for a while.”

“The reimagined version [of “The Flood”] opts for delicate piano and an aching, wistful mood. I think frontwoman Sasha Razumova nails the lead vocal on this one. The result is a powerful and gripping ballad – extremely well done!”

“The band is quickly gaining momentum. In their first year they have already canvassed venues in & around MA and NH, received over 50 college radio adds (…) and performed at the 2019 winter NAMM Show.”

“Just when you think this is an indulgent electro-pop tune, the harmonics ramp up to wall-of-sound alt-rock levels, infusing the tune with radiant, iridescent energy. Gorgeous vocal harmonies suffuse the chorus (…). “Another Illusion” is superbly evocative.”

“If New England modern-rockers Major Moment were a political force, things could be a whole lot better in this country. The Boston-based act have a penchant for anthemic choruses, interesting electronic flourishes and straight-ahead rock energy.”
