Moving Mountains is an indie-rock band from Purchase, New York. Their musical style is reminiscent of The Appleseed Cast. Their influences include Hammock and The Album Leaf. Combining emotional vocals with elements of post-rock, the band has often been compared to such acts as The Appleseed Cast and Thrice.

The band was formed in Westchester, New York in 2005 by Gregory Dunn (guitar/vocals) and Nicholas Pizzolato(drums). A self-titled demo EP was leaked to the public in early 2006 and their debut album Pneuma was released independently in early 2007. Later that year, Frank Graniero(guitar/vocals) and Mitchell Lee (bass) completed the band’s line-up. In 2008, Pneuma was reissued by Deep Elm.

Current line-up:

• Gregory Dunn – guitar, vocals
• Nicholas Pizzolato – drums
