Moon Balloon is a Peckham-based indie rock band fronted by Rhys Timson with songs about love, loss & gentrification whilst finding solace in a city that no longer wants you.

After forming SelOut records and releasing the 'Don't Turn Around' EP cassette last year, Moon Balloon is ready to pay the DistroKid toll once again.

New single 'Larry's' was written after eating a delicious Aubergine Parmigiana sandwich from the Larry's cafe in Peckham. The band say, "It's a song about finding joy with the ones you love most in an impossibly unaffordable city. It's a song about not allowing your anxiety to thwart your fun and helping your loved ones along the way."

Somewhere between Gorkis Zygotic Mynci, Wire and Whitney, Moon Balloon congeal within the songwriting stew pot of South London music.
