It’s the green light needed to keep persevering.”

Repeat – “Man On The Moon”

Genre: Alt Rock

Words From the Artist/PR: The single “Man On The Moon” follows what has become the trademark for the band, a rock-hard discharge in the borderland between stoner rock and punk with lyrics seasoned with a certain melancholy..

Since we already had a number of additional songs more or less finished, we immediately went back to the studio, once again with Joakim Lindberg as producer. The result was nine new songs, at a total of eighteen minutes. We really prefer the short format and most of the album was recorded in live takes.”
