Artist description The Moon (possibly known as the ‘second fab four’) features the prolific songwriting duo of former Sleeze Beez members lead vocalist Andrew Elt and guitarist Don van Spall. When you hear the songs these guys pen, you’ll understand why they are compared to ‘The Fab Four’! The synchronous drummer John Snels (Vengeance) along with Paul Martin on punchy bass and piano round out the rhythm section’s intensity. Both blend their instrumental talents with Don and Andrew to create an explosive catapult moving in complete harmony. You will find The Moon’s music a marked departure from the likes of the hard rockers the Sleeze Beez once cranked out. It’s an evolution representing a new-found maturity and a pleasurable sincerity in lyrical content with a very convivial and somewhat raw-edged musical affectation.

Press Reviews "This is one of those treats that sneak up on you. The Moon has crafted a fine collection of tunes presented with serious production quality. The variety of the disc keeps it interesting even through multiple listens and I found myself singing along after only a few spins. Andrew Elt and Don van Spall share the songwriting duties. Andrew is also a guitarist and vocalist. Don plays lead guitar and shares vocal duties as well. Paul Martin handles bass and paino, while John Snels deals with drums and all the other things that need to get hit. There are additional credits for Monique Baggin who contributed violin, Frank Martijn who played cello and Marij Snels who sang backing vocals on one song. The CD opens with "Have you Ever," and the questions pour out fast and furious during this tune. In and amongst the queries a quick homage to the Beatles pops up, and lots of great harmonies drive the interrogation along to its power-pop conclusion. "Ain't Losin' My Way" gets a little more crunchier, but still hangs on to that rock/pop sensibility that The Moon demonstrates so well. "What Do I Know" slows it up a bit and grinds into "All You Get," which is my fave cut. With lead vocals reminiscent of Tom Waits' gritty treatment, juxtaposed against the more frequent harmonies that pervade the Moonsters tunes, this one is a keeper. "Sunrise" is a bit of a folky let-down after the grittiness of "All", but it makes for a good palette cleanser. "What Is It" starts off with more Beatlesque reminders, but the nasally intro leads us into an enjoyable pot- luck of The Moon's influences, served up with gusto and well-prepared. All together there are 13 pieces of the Moon on the CD and all are capable works. I would highly recommend this one.
