The Mooncussers Rock and Roll

This is a rock band. We love guitars. We love heavy rhythm. We love real country music, and Muscle Shoals, and distorted, fucked up noise. It is what is is, so far. It's everything but pretentious. We are freaks because we worry what type of pre amp tube we have in our amps, and what type of pick up is carrying our playing to the amplifier, and what type of wood the snare is made of - so you don't have to. Here is what other people say about Mooncussers: Press: . . . "with writing that seeks to impact the listener at a deeper level than just entertainment . . . One aspect that I was impressed by was the appealing nature of the music to basic good American music. It is obvious on the first listen that the members of this band are students of good music. Dynamic, soulful and pure is the way one could label the spirit of this band. The Mooncussers are cool because they are just good at what they do." - The Independent Music Scene "an alt-country all-star team of sorts . . . stirred by the "No Depression" school of rock, there's something satisfying for you in these twangy barroom ballads. They go down a lot easier than the whiskey that undoubtedly inspired them." - Chris Deville, Alive! "a brag-worthy lineup, May digs deep into his Kentucky roots, cranking out twangy tunes . . . like Counting Crows if Adam Duritz had balls" - Joel Oliphant, The Other Paper "some Replacements-style grit, and like the Drive-By Truckers, he’s as much at home with a wailing electric guitar as he is with acoustic picking." - ibid. "when May sings, “It’s hard to love you when you don’t come home,” and those country-style leads echo the sentiment, you realize there’s no reason for the Mooncussers to break new ground when the soil’s still fertile." - ibid. "What they maintain is an appealing, highly listenable roots-rock sound influenced by decades-old artists and the grit of AM radio."- Kevin Joy, Columbus Dispatch
