The Moons come with an authentic rock pedigree. Fronted by Paul Weller's keyboard player Andy Crofts, the band craft soulful slices of a classic English take on rock. Drawing from influences like XTC, The La's and The Specials, the band are also heavily influenced by the likes of The Jam and The Beatles. The record is far from a retro romp but sits comfortably alongside contemporary groups like The Coral, The Zutons and The Bees.
The Moons came to the attention of the 'Acid Jazz' record label after Eddie Piller picked up their self financed 45 ?Don't Go Changing' for his award-winning radio show on Q. He encouraged the band to go in and record an album, and so The Moons spent a month in Paul Weller's Black Barn studios working on their debut, which is due for release in February 2010.
The Moons Lineup is:
Andy Crofts - Vocals, guitar
Ben Gordelier - Drums
James Bagshaw - Guitar, vocals

Tom Warmsley- Keys, vocals
