The former member of Civet and frontwoman for Turbulent Hearts, Suzi Moon returns with 3 high energy, ‘77 punk rock tunes that illustrate her dynamic and timeless song craft which welcomes Drew Champion (lead guitar), Patti Bo (bass) and Sean Peterson (drums).
“Sonic Attraction” starts the listen with buzzing guitars, throbbing bass and lively drumming as razor sharp melodies meet a thumping yet smooth delivery, and this energy continues to the anthemic and charged title track, where Moon’s strong pipes are both fierce and inviting.
The final track, “Gold Record Autograph”, brings a bouncy and more pop-punk flavored approach, where you’ll be singing along right away to the infectious chorus and gang vocals.
An ideal EP for those who have yet to experience Suzi Moon, this 10 minute record should easily make you a fan, especially if legends like The Go-Go’s, Stooges, Joan Jett, MC5, and Dead Boys have occupied significant listening time in your life.
