Bullmoose

Bullmoose (aka Zach Dobbins) is a Canadian rock band formed in Elgin, Ontario in 1996. Three of the original members continue in the band, which today is based in Montreal. They include twin brothers Jeff Cowan (drums/vocals) and Seamus Cowan (bass/vocals) from Westport, Ontario and Eric Lawrance (guitar/vocals) from Delta, Ontario, who launched the band when they attended school at Montreal. The band performs in the rock music genre, citing experimental influences of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
