Bringing back 90’s girlband realness, M.O give us an insight into their journey, thus far.<\/p>\n

\"M.O\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2013 seems to have been a triumphant year for the underground, understated girlband. Kitchen Party, Neon Jungle, even the return of Noughties trio MKS have showered the industy with female aloofness. Adding to that list is London-based unit M.O.<\/p>\n

Plucking their namesake title from a Drake song, the girls aim was to re-introduce an authentic yet fresh 90’s r’n’b vibe, executed perfectly through their image (CAT boots, shirts tied around waists, bomber jackets..et al) as well as creating some slick hip-hop beats in the same vain as Aaliyah. They remind us of N-Tyce or All Saints, the cooler cousins of The Spice Girls. Support slots with Wretch 32 and a date with Disclosure coming up, 2014 is promising to be an exciting year.<\/p>\n

They’ve created a selection of their favourite 90’s jams especially for us.<\/p>\n

Tell us a bit more about your journey? Where did it all begin for you guys?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Frankee: Annie and Nadine had known each other for a while and were working on music together in the studio. \u00a0I had met them through mutual friends and gigs in the past and they asked me if I wanted to get in the studio with them. \u00a0We wanted bring back a girlband similar to the ones we grew up listening to so we got straight down to business.<\/p>\n

What’s the mystery behind the band name? What does M.O stand for?- \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Annie: M.O stands for “Modus Operandi<\/em>” which is latin for “Mode of Operation”<\/em> we actually heard it in a Drake song and loved the sound and meaning of it so we made it ours.<\/p>\n

Whats been happening since you guys released your last single?<\/b><\/p>\n

N: We’ve been gigging everywhere, we’ve been lucky enough to support Wretch32 and Rudimental on a few dates too. We have a gig coming up with Disclosure soon which should be fun. \u00a0We shot a new low key, moody video. We’ve also been in the studio a lot too.<\/p>\n
