Moriaty is a 2-piece band based in Teighnmouth, Devon. Formed in 2010, they describe themselves as a "filthy dirty blues band". Band includes Jordan West (also of Hey Molly) on guitar and vocals amd Matthew Partridge on drums as main members and Chris Wolstenholme as an unofficial new third member. So far, they've released one album in 2014, called The Devil’s Child, on which they've worked with John Cornfield. They've also released three EPs, the Lord Blackwood EP in 2012, the Esperanza EP in 2013 and the Pure Filth EP in 2016, and two singles, Bones in 2015 and Politicians in 2018.

Wolstenholme and West presumably knew each other before Moriaty was formed, as Wolstenholme performed with West's band Hey Molly in 2008, and they also supported Muse a couple of times between 2008 and 2009.

In May, 2014, Chris Tweeted about them (see the tweet here), saying that they are a brilliant 2-piece band from Teighnmouth.

Their single Bones, which also featured Chris on bass, came out Jan 26th, 2015. You can check out the music video, which also features Wolstenholme, here.
