Moon has an affinity for vintage rock and roll.

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. Ward, Howe Gelb, and Joey Burns and John Convertino all make contributions to this album. But despite the impressive guest list Sick of Love never achieves the depth […]

The internet is full of new music. No doubt about it, websites like garageband.com, myspace.com, and numerous blogs have allowed completely independent musicians to put out their music to a wider audience (at least theoretically) and with much more ease than ever before. But honestly it’s overwhelming, and trying to sift through the thousands of bad songs, bands that don’t have it together, and blogs that hype mediocre bands with the same kind of urgency that made the world fear for the Y2K disaster…
