Moonshine Heavies are a six piece Rock n Roll band from London. With their debut release of ‘Automation’ in March 2023, they quickly established themselves as being ones to watch when they went onto head the Iconic Camden Assembly in the capital. They further cemented that status by the release of their two follow up singles in the same year ‘’Droplets’ and ‘Two Fingers’ and by headlining the Camden Rocks All-Dayer and the O2 Academy in Islington.
The band’s first three singles of 2023 were all recorded at Lightship 95 Studio in London and were all received to critical acclaim receiving plays and support from the likes of BBC Introducing and in the press such as Hot Vox, Backseat Mafia and Music Crowns.
And the momentum continues to build for the band with the release of their 2024 single ‘FOMO’ and having already played headline shows at The Workshop and Hoxton Underbelly and having further starred in War Child UK’s national “RISING” campaign alongside bands such as The 1975, The Hunna, and Sea Girls, among others.
The six piece band consisting of Alexander Hunter - Lead singer/songwriter, Kapish Patel - Guitar/songwriter, Johnny Beloe - Guitar/songwriter, Matty Perrin - Drums, Sandeep Ravaliya - Bass and Gavrisha - vocalist are now gearing up for the release of their latest track ‘Idiot’.
‘Idiot’ at first listen is a ska infused melody with twanging guitars and pleasingly retro-esque vocals delivered with an assertive chanting chorus hook line. The track is fast paced throughout until there’s a change in rhythm in the mid section which then sees the track building into a decidedly punk inspired crescendo that’ll leave you breathless and full of excitement!
The band have said of the new track:
“Sometimes people look you straight in the eye and believe their own web of lies. All you want to do is shout, “Shut your mouth Idiot!”. Alas... it's not socially acceptable, so best avoided. Here's a song where you can picture the idiots in your life and debase them to your heart's content. Despite the fury within it, the song is a perfect summer skank culminating in a fast punky ending. What more could you want?”
‘Idiot’ was written and composed by Moonshine Heavies and was recorded at Lightship 95 Studios in London.
