History
Closure In Moscow formed in 2006, in Melbourne, Australia. The formation is said to have comprised of "high school friends, one guy stolen from another band and a dude from a hair salon". The band's drummer Beau McKee states Saosin as a major influence in the formation, saying "[Saosin] were one of the reasons we started playing... We still remember jamming "Seven Years" in rehearsal less than a year ago."
The band signed to label Taperjean Records in early 2008. Now along side label-mates Fifty Sixx, Limbeck, Stealing O'Neal, As Tall As Lions and Copeland, they have received added support. With "solid" radio airplay internationally, and increasing pressure to head overseas to the United States and Europe, to tend to large fan bases.
On April 19, 2008, Closure In Moscow released their debut EP, The Penance and the Patience. The band advertised it as an 'albumette'. Upon the release of the EP, the band members were an average age of only 21, and the complete line up had only been together a few months. They went to extreme lengths to record The Penance and the Patience, lead vocalist Chris De Cinque spent three to four months straight writing or doing pre-prouction, as well as quiting a job to go on tour. It was eventually recorded at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne with American producer and engineer Kris Crummett, who had previously worked on albums with Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Devil Wears Prada and I Am the Ocean. The albumette was completed in July 2007, nine months before its release.
In late 2007, Closure In Moscow found exposure when they caught the eye of Saosin after sharing the stage with them, word reportedly got out to American magazine Alternative Press, eventuating in a small feature on the band.[4]
