Indie pop music from Philippines with a touch of ’80s. Melodic guitars, emotional tunes.

Born in the sticky Philippine summer of 2006, the five-piece known as Moscow Olympics produce music that has been described by Alistair Fitchett (on his Unpopular blog) as “Blueboy leaping from the clouds and snogging The Wake in the sunset whilst drifting down over the Oresund bridge.”

Indeed, the band’s fuzzy, dreamy pop is deliciously reminiscent of our most favourite bands of past decades, but they have a genuine just-for-the-love-of-music spirit/sound that’s uniquely their own.

Moscow Olympics are: AJ, ,Jojo, Melanie and Richard.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are bland... Moscow Olympics should not even be compared they are so far above them. It won't get them huge, but it would certainly help if they released their stuff on more than 500 limited vinyl copies exclusively.... seriously this isn't up to buy digitally anywhere. (Besides the split)

They are definitely underrated. I don't see why these guys aren't as big as The Pains of Being Pure at Heart... they should be bigger, actually.

I'm in the same idea with brunettesxrock. They are terribly underrated.
