With a new batch of music and video offerings that are fun and engaging like a circus side-show, Moonshine Booze are back again – it’s been two years since they released their debut album ‘Desert Road’ via Seahorse Recordings. Now they are back with the ‘Pandemonio’ album, to be unleashed on the world as of January 15 via Overdub Recordings.
A few months ago, the band teased this larger collection by releasing two singles: ‘The Tide’ and ‘The Hole’, which appear on this album. Each has a surreal boisterous video. This music should thrill fans of Terrorvision, Fat White Family, Urban Voodoo Machine, Ian Dury, Gogol Bordello and Black Eyed Snakes.
With classic rock elements and balanced rhythms, ‘Pandemonio’ showcases the band’s unique alt-indie rock with bizarre variations; a twisted and cynical mixture of spaghetti-rock soaked in bluesy tones. Through hard work with retro style arrangements, plenty of colour has been injected into all 15 songs, which appear in a specific order to create a linear journey. The raw, cutting and electrified sound is framed by their vision and extravagance.
“The political and social turmoil of the past years have given all of us enough pressure, and to us, the release of the ‘Pandemonio’ album represents a new dawn; the creature has been freed. In this work, our sound has become even more sharp and eclectic, and for this, we have to thank the vastness of red wine that has fueled our inspiration,” says frontman Emiliano Zapata.
Moonshine Booze formed in the summer of 2014 in Teramo, Italy. This trio is Andrea Manila (vocals), Emiliano Zapata (guitar) and Fabio Manchos (drums). Having been active on the music scene for over twenty years in various bands, both in Italy and The USA, the trio has gathered and relaborated experiences from different musical genres, putting them to good use in their new project.
Initially, this band just wanted to put out a series of classic covers from Johnny Cash to Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Little Walter and J.B. Leinor, but this has turned into something so much more. Combining grit blues rock with alternative country, Moonshine Booze’s music has been described as psychedelic country blues-tinged rock, as well as brazen desert alcoholic acoustic rock.
‘Pandemonio’ will be available everywhere digitally, including Apple Music, Spotify and can also be obtained directly from the artist via Bandcamp athttps://moonshinebooze.bandcamp.com/album/pandemonio-2. Released through Overdub Recordings, this record is distributed throughout Europe, in both digital and in physical formats, via code 7/Plastich Head. The album can be ordered
