Closure In Moscow is a Progressive rock band based in Australia. The band formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 2006, comprising of lead vocalist Chris De Cinque, drummer Beau McKee, guitarist and backup vocalist Manny Zennelli, guitarist Michael Barrett, and bassist Bradley Kimber. Only 18 months after first forming, they signed to Taperjean Records and released their debut EP (self-proclaimed 'albumette') on April 19, 2008, titled The Penance and the Patience, off which two music videos were released.

Once you break through the seemingly overpretentious dribble that is their bio, you will find one of the more surprising australian post-hardcore/rock bands around. With more hooks than a hook merchant(umm...?), subtle use of electronics and guitar riffs that help evoke emotionally responses. Closure in Moscow deliver on nearly every front occasionally falling into the traps their peers so gladly wade through.

Closure in moscow have unleashed a stunning piece of art that has and will continue to garner them some much deserved respect not just in australia but also overseas. The albumette covers all bases of their respective genre quite skillfully showcasing a unified song writing approach and a clear focus on walking a fine line between melody and a energy deeply rooted in hardcore punk. While not perfect the albumette works mostly in their favour, cementing their place on top of the australian post-hardcore/rock scene.
