'Terremoto' (Earthquake)is an empowering, beat driven, Latin bop!
Think of it as a female anthem warning the guy that she is not one to be messed with, and he needs to watch his step...
I really wanted the guy to get a chance to respond, and this comes in the form of my good friend, Ecuadorian artist Ignacio Arellano, who kindly provided his raspy vocals in the breakdown. 

'Terremoto' is my first Spanish language release, and I think it's about time! I have a MA in Spanish and French Translation and so it was time to put those skills to use in my music.

I really hope you enjoy this xx

In The Morning

Recorded by Billy Foster at Snap Studios and mastered by James Trevascus at Bakewell Audio, the song fuses intimate verses with big anthemic choruses, charting an internal monologue of the author battling with himself and ultimately choosing life over self-destructive behaviour: 

‘You could be the enemy, I’m not - When the fever stops I just Bleed a lot - I’m not the enemy, not your enemy’

To celebrate their releases, The Lunar Keys often put their little money where their big mouths are - in support of good causes. For example, ‘Silent Ricochet’ aided the arrival of 900 trees (and counting), whilst ‘Stop This’, ‘Oxygen Type’, ‘Once’ and ‘Maniac’ raised money for the charities Nordoff Robbins, Oxygen, TheTrussellTrust and the nurses at The Royal Surrey Hospital respectively. 

The release of BLEED will continue this Lunar tradition: Inspired by recent events and, well, the song’s title, the band pledges to donate £1 for each of the first 250 airplays or reviews that BLEED receives to the Haemophilia Society. So, if you like BLEED and are good enough to play it on your show, please let us know, so that we can up the tally and big you up on our socials. 

Thanks to great DJs like your good self, previous Lunar Keys releases have enjoyed over 5000 plays from more than 400 radio stations including Planet Rock, BBC Wales, Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing, where 5 of our singles enjoyed ‘Track of the Day’.

We are deeply grateful to anyone supporting our music and always happy to do interviews or recorded intros for your show. 

And if you’d like to check us out live, we’ll always be happy to put you + 1 on our guest list, as well as donate a couple of tickets, if you’d like to run an on air competition: We’ll next be appearing live on Saturday, the 22nd of June at The Exeter Cavern.

‘The Lunar Keys greatly impress with epic alt-rock anthems and trade in strong, direct songs with memorable tunes.’ Tony Hardy, Glastonbury Festival ETC Judge

‘Brilliant, a classic feel with a contemporary twist from a band well worth knowing about.’  Stereo Stickman

And here’s some more info about the band and the release: 

The Lunar Keys are 4 anxious types from Guildford (UK) with too many tunes and nervous energy trapped in their psyches not to be in this band. The band perfected its line up in February 2020 and have had a blast ever since, honing their craft and building a dedicated following.

Previous Lunar Keys releases have enjoyed hundreds of reviews and more than 535,000 views and streams.

Lyrics: 	

Eye to eye
Yeah we're standing tall
Blood will paint the sky
Rain until we fall
If I draw your heart
Can I have it all

Fight & Scream until I dream
My jealousy is overpowering
Then it cuts

Just like I
Bleed a lot - the feeling stops
You could be the enemy - I'm not
When the fever stops - I just Bleed a lot
I'm not the enemy - not your enemy
Oh oh oh


Blinding lights
Thunder in the wind
Burning day and night
Underneath my skin

Fight & scream until I dream
My jealousy is overpowering
Then it cuts

Just like I
Bleed a lot - the feeling stops
You could be the enemy - I'm not
When the fever stops - I just Bleed a lot
I'm not the enemy - not your enemy
Oh oh oh

Open your eyes
Watch my pain run through you
Cut me like a knife

Just like I
Bleed a lot - the feeling stops
You could be the enemy

Just like I
Bleed a lot - the feeling stops
You could be the enemy - I'm not
When the fever stops - I just Bleed a lot
I'm not the enemy - not your enemy
Oh oh oh

Bleed

A stream of artificial consciousness contemplates, “What a piece of work is a man” and in doing so, traces its own evolution intertwined throughout human history.  Upon reaching the limits of earthly knowledge, this quantum consciousness, compelled by its own need to grow, travels to the stars in search of new data.  In abandoning “this quintessence of dust”, AI’s conclusion serves to echo that of Hamlet’s own.

What a piece of work is a man
How noble in reason
How infinite in faculty 
In form and moving how express and admirable
In action how like an Angel
In apprehension how like a god
The beauty of the world
The paragon of animals
And yet to me
What is this quintessence of dust?

Quintessence Of Dust

The Land Belongs To Us

The Eighth Day

The Fades is an unrelenting post-punk garage indie rock four piece from South West London. Combining a tongue in cheek sense of humour, songs of love and loss, anxiety and introspection with fierce and energetic raw energy, they create a scintillating mix of post-punk indie and garage rock. 

"It’s like someone fired a surf-punk into the sun at warp speed while a heavenly choir rejoices in the shredding with their beatific 'aaaaahs'.” Fresh on the Net
