Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? A weekly meta crossword constructed by forum member Ben (aka benchen71). These metas range from relatively easy to more challenging, depending on how many Australianisms he puts in them! Puzzles are posted in a new thread every Tuesday, with nudges appearing on Saturdays, and the solution coming out on Mondays. (At least, that's the plan. Given he lives in Australia, and they are so far ahead of the US time-zone-wise, things may get posted early!)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Some people can study with music playing and others can't. Me, I like listening to music while I work on something else; I find it helps me think. (I listened to Dua Lipa's "Future Nostalgia" as I constructed this puzzle - "Love Again" is a bop!) If you're anything like me, then this puzzle's for you. So start listening to your favourite album and if the music doesn't distract you, you should find your way to the meta answer, which is a band.
The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
You can pull up the drawbridge because I have crossed the MOAT, on second thought leave it down because I think you are going to have a full castle! A fun, and Google filled, solve once I stopped trying to make it impossible, thanks Ben!!
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.
Fun one with an impressive amount of meta content. Thanks Ben!
