Originally from Southern California, but relocated to Washington DC, <strong>Moon<\/strong> and her band put together an incredible debut album that is well worth the wait! Recorded and produced by <strong>Davey Warsop<\/strong> (<strong>Sharp\/Shock<\/strong>,<strong> Suedehead<\/strong>) they are an eclectic set of catchy as f*** songs that the band immediately took on the road, where they were received by wild crowds worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Dumb &amp; In Luv<\/strong><\/em> was actually written and mostly recorded before the release of her EPs \u2013 but she wanted to spend more time working on it to be able to present a cohesive collection of songs. When asked about the album, <strong>Moon<\/strong> says \u201cThese songs are a bit warmer and power-pop than my previous releases. They\u2019ve been baked in the California sunshine, like the song \u2018<strong>99 Miles To Pasadena<\/strong>,\u2019 which I wrote while running laps around the Rose Bowl. I picked songs that fit together nicely but also offer a lot of variation, so you\u2019re getting more of a full ride with this album than you did with the EPs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She continues, \u201cThe ten tracks on <em><strong>Dumb &amp; In Luv<\/strong><\/em> represent growth and the human condition. Themes of love, loss, heartache, hope, and celebration are all ones that I have written about before and will certainly revisit again and again. My first EP, <em><strong>Call The Shots<\/strong><\/em>, had a straightforward punk \u2019n roll sound, my second EP, <em><strong>Animal<\/strong><\/em>, was a bit more melodic, and <em><strong>Dumb &amp; In Luv<\/strong><\/em> is really a mix of those two styles, seeped in the influence of all those great California bands that influenced me while I was growing up, like <strong>Social Distortion<\/strong>, <strong>Rancid<\/strong>, <strong>Green Day<\/strong>, and <strong>Sugarcult<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a stellar rock &amp; roll pedigree, reaching back to when <strong>Moon<\/strong> started touring at the young age of 15, she has established herself as a ferocious punk truth teller with both a distinctive personal style and a fiercely untamed stage presence.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mail-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"728\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mail-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mail-6.jpg 828w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mail-6-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/mail-6-768x675.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Suzi Moon<\/strong>\u2019s effortless channeling of classic \u201977 punk rock spirit with a modern twist continues to evolve and grow. The response to her first two releases was fantastic, though not surprising \u2013 with support from <strong>Little Steven\u2019s Underground Garage<\/strong> and the likes of <strong>Iggy Pop<\/strong> singing her praises on the BBC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her fanbase has grown immensely over the past few years, and the release of her LP has been one of the biggest things propelling her forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Suzi<\/strong>\u2019s electrifying live show is not to be missed, and has made her a favorite at festivals like <strong>Xtreme Fest<\/strong>, <strong>Rebellion<\/strong>, <strong>Punk Rock Bowling<\/strong>, and <strong>Punk in the Park<\/strong> (just to name a few), gigs with legendary acts like <strong>The Damned<\/strong>, and tours with the likes of <strong>Agent Orange<\/strong>,<strong> The Briefs<\/strong>,<strong> Ravagers<\/strong>, and more!
