A 4-piece band from Zagreb, Croatia. Formed in 2010., they love to combine surf with raw & heavy garage music. Their sound can be charactherized as raw garage sound with melodies inspired by first two waves of 60s surf music. To spice things up, they use a lot of reverb unit thunder. So far, they played with regional surf & garage bands like Dykemann Family, Threesome, Latex Willer etc.

You can listen and download the Moon Riot EP here :

Happened to serendipitously catch "Waterproof Guitars" while washing my truck yesterday of all things. Have since listened to the full EP a few more times. Catchy melody, really well played, and some really great tones/sounds these guys are putting "on wax".

I definitely recommend committing the 15 minutes needed to take in all 5 cuts. I'm really looking forward to hearing more from these guys.

Hi guys, this is Ivan, I play guitar in the band.
We are working on new songs and are planning to record new stuff in April/May. This time hopefully with all vintage equipment.

In the meantime here are some nice recordings of a couple of our songs from a show held in Zagreb(KSET) last year. We were invited to play there by the premiere croatian rockabilly band B & the Bops for the promotion of their new album. It was cold outside but fortunately there was a lot of rakija to keep us warm.

First video:
- 1. Shifting
- 2. Operation Ultra (03:05)
- 3. Long Way (05:03)

Second video:
- 1. Moon Riot
- 2. Black Sand Beach (02:50)

It took a little bit of time to record it but we're so happy we can finally brag about it over here.

Oh and we also made a youtube playlist for those of you that are more keen on that format. Enjoy and let us know if you like it.

Best regards people,
