Mortland are a 5-piece hard rock band based in Nottingham (UK) built around the partnership of guitarist Andy Shortland and vocalist Matt Moreton, both ex-members of Cloven Hoof and Tom Galley’s Phenomena, with the line-up completed by drummer Jordan Spencer from Evil Scarecrow, producer/guitarist Dave Buckley and bassist Nick Watson. The band was formed in 2017 as a fun, side project playing rock covers in local bars, but quickly became a more serious proposition as an increasing number of original songs began to be written, and by spring of 2018 recording sessions began for the first MORTLAND album.
