As soon as I saw on the one-sheet that main Moon man Mark Poole had played with the stellar Boys From Nowhere, I was curious to hear his band.

(Kim Cooper) ---.. SCRAM Magazine.. .. .. This long-running West Virginian band plays a spirited sort of party pop/bar rock that recalls Young Fresh Fellows. Lots of big hooks and open chords and catchy vocal melodies, all coming together to form fun, rocking tunes. Liberal use of cowbell, hand claps, and tambourine just add to the good times.

PUNK PLANET.. .. .. ...Their influences include the usuals like the Kinks and The Beatles, but their pesentation has more of a louder but still melodic - indie rock bent, sounding somewhat like Honeyrider and Toothpaste 2000, filtered through a bit of Husker Du. I know, it sounds a bit strange, but believe me - it works! In addition to the loud and punchy guitars, you'll find a tight rhythm section and some organ to assist the retro - pop part of the sound.... This is the third album from this group from West Virginia, and if their first two are anything like this, I've got to seek them out. (Mix tape quotient = 11/12) --- ..INDIE PAGES.. .. .. West Virgina's rocking quartet Moon culls retro influences from the Kinks and The Beatles and fuels them with a modern punch that toys with pop punk. "Anything At All" displays great harmony vocals reminicent of John and Paul, another welcome dimension. The vibe is edgy but contagious in a comforting way, with plenty of bold guitar riffs. ---.. MUSIC MORSELS (Serge Entertainment Group).. .. .. Why is Moon so alluring? Well, to my ear, Moon has a sound reminiscent of the Beatles, mixed with a dash of The Kinks and The Monkees. Perhaps that's why this indie band has so much appeal. Keep in mind that Moon does perform live, you might want check their "flight logs" to see if they are coming to a city near you, since I can only imagine that they would put on a great live show. Moon's CD "Flight Logs" is a clear winner, and well worth a listen for those who lived through the 60's, or for those who want a flavor of the 60's played with twenty first century flair. --.. THE HERE AND THERE .. .. .. Moon has an affinity for vintage rock and roll. From the cleverly placed "stereo" on the cover, to the numerous pictures of vintage amplifiers and guitars, it's not hard to guess that these guys listened to bands like the Byrds or The Beatles. However, while their influences may seem obvious, Moon takes their music in at least somewhat of a new direction. On the opening track "Flight Logs" a 60's pop riff gets buried underneath fuzzed out guitars more reminiscent of late American Punk than the British invasion. The combination works, at least for most of the tracks. Some cuts, like the song "Featherweight" never really take off and on the track "Faith Healers", the weight of fuzzed guitars obscure the songs core. However, tracks like Yesterday's Coming" a feisty and ecstatic rock number outweigh the bands missteps. Unlike many revivalist bands, like Jet, Moon manages to both utilize their influences and move beyond them, creating an energetic and enjoyable, if slightly spotty album. -- .. THE CONFABULATORS ARCHIVE.. .. .. .. BAND BIO:.. .. Moon is a rock and roll band based in Morgantown WV. Formed in 1989 by Mark Poole. Prior to forming Moon, Mark Poole and Bill Sheeder played together in the long running WV band 63 Eyes. Poole also played lead guitar on some of the legendary 45's by Mick Divvens' Boys From Nowhere in the late 80's. Moon's first lp/cd came out on Skyclad Records in 1990. Dilligent about the punk rock DIY work ethic, the band put together their own label/studio (Zone 8 Recording) around 1994 where they recorded their next two cd's "Get It Through Your Heart" and most recently "Flight Logs". The band is currently writing/recording songs for a new album. -
