There are at least seven reasons why Moon Walker deserve to skyrocket the Indie charts - the album's seven tracks. Seriously, in the review of their single 'Disturbed Suburbia' , I have called the duo a hit machine, and I can only repeat myself. Moon Walker are one of those bands that create instant classics with every song they write - maybe comparable to Swiss Rockabilly heroes The Peacocks, but serving a different genre. Although the Indie and Alternative Rock played by Moon Walker is very colourful, boppy, sort of psychedelic, and dynamically...

In August, Sean  and Harry  continued their sarcastic and teasing critique on mischiefs of a so-called enlightened society. In 'Disturbed Suburbia', Moon Walker disenchant the upper middle class's enclosed paradise - suburbia. The suburban space (in the US) is a sphere inhabited by predominantly white and privileged people who claim to be antiracist and progressive - but those lip servives only last until they are actually confronted with their own privilege. It's a white man's world. With suburbs being one of the most American things I can imagine, I am reminded of Crèvecoeur 's essay "What is an American". Since Europea...

Picture Credit: Moon Walker   Moon Walker - The TV made me do it Release Date: June 18, 2021 Length: 03:34 Genre: Psychedelic Rock / Indie Funk Origin: Los Angeles , CA , USA The eponymous protagonist of the film 'Donnie Darko' wrote "THEY MADE ME DO IT" in large letters. And the question about who "they" are can still fill nights. The latest single The TV made me do it" by Sean McCarthy  (drums) and Harry Springer  (guitar and vocals) is not related to the film, anyways. Instead, Californian duo Moon Walker express their reactions on media sensationalism. Events like Trump supporters raiding the Capitol can lead to a massive fuss on television, radio, etc. And although broadcasting and the freedom of press are some of the highest goods of a free society, sensationalism has nothing to do with that. Music-wise, "The TV made me do it" is a bouyant, easy-going, and light-footed Indie Funk anthem containing lots of fuzz, psychedelia, and gentle m...
