Moon has an affinity for vintage rock and roll. From the cleverly placed ’stereo’ on the cover, to the numerous pictures of vintage amplifiers and guitars, it’s not hard to guess that these guys listened to bands like the Byrds or the Beatles. However, while their influences may seem obvious, Moon takes their […]
Luca may not be a familiar name, but the guest artists on this album are among some of the more recognizable names in independent alt-country music. M.

To their credit they do what they do well, they provide people concerned with content […]
From the creator of the “toothpaste for dinner” site comes the ‘band’ Dog Traders—and while this band exists now (in three-piece form)—the album “A Panic in a Pagoda” was recorded by one man. Plenty of us know that dude who’s always recording stuff in his basement/bedroom/etc, but this guy happens to have a pretty […]
