New Moons Release Debut
If you need a good Bunbury warm-up, head to MOTR Pub (1345 Main St., Over-the-Rhine, motrpub.com) Thursday for the release party for Glass Planet, the debut effort by local rockers New Moons. The Tigerlilies also play the 10 p.m. show.
New Moons concoct a sound that is reminiscent of ’90s AltRock’s heyday but doesn’t put off too much of a retro vibe. It’s simply a strong Rock & Roll record, highlighted by cuts like “Dream Street,” with its gliding guitar riffs (if you remember and loved the band Lotion, you’d love this track), the memorable “You Don’t Need to Know Me” and closer “Morning Light,” a woozy, swaying track with some stinging guitar leads piercing the haze. With good chops and promising songwriting, Glass Planet shows New Moons is a band to keep an eye on. (newmoons.net)
