THE HILLBILLY MOON EXPLOSION

Seven months have elapsed since THE HILLBILLY MOON EXPLOSION released their tenth album (and their first for Cleopatra Records), Back In Time, to some of the most excitable reviews of their career.

But now they’re back with a fabulous new video for the album’s countrified closing track, “Reno” – a song already acclaimed by RPM Online for “end[ing] the album on a classy note. The tune [is] seemingly already familiar, yet it sounds fresh and new. Class never dates, and The Hillbilly Moon Explosion never let you down. Long may they continue.”

So tastefully directed by Chris Magee, the video plants the band in a deserted desert bar, palm trees swaying, vivid red furnishings, and the sights and sounds of the surrounding landscape all taking a well-deserved bow. It looks and feels just like the song sounds, and you can watch it for yourself right here:

For anyone who has not yet caught the band, “Reno” is a spellbinding introduction to an album that LiveWireMusic.org described as “a return to their rockabilly and rock roots… showcas[ing] their incredible and infectious energy as a band.”

Or, as singer and writer Emanuela Hutter puts it, “‘Reno’ is about the beauty of a memory of a loved one. No one can ever take that away from you.“

Bandmate Oliver Baroni continues, “Somehow our Swiss-Italian punk rock torch singer came up with a Bakersfield style country song. But I guess that’s what The Hillbilly Moon Explosion is about: expect the unexpected.”

With less than a week before the launch of their brand-new studio album, Back In Time, one of Europe’s most buzzed about underground rock bands THE HILLBILLY MOON EXPLOSION share one last single to give fans a taste of what’s in store on release day. “Sometimes Late At Night” is a propulsive track that deftly captures the spirit of the new album, crafting a compellingly dark surf-rock vibe with a heavy dose of gritty guitar riffs and an absolutely floor-stomping rhythmic backbeat that drives the verses. When the chorus hits, vocalist Emanuela Hutter’s distinctively powerful voice shines through and elevates the track from mere melodic rocker to an electrifying piece of punk-infused power!

Bandmate Oliver Baroni shares high praise for Hutter’s performance on the track, saying “‘Sometimes Late At Night’ is one of those songs that could only be by Emanuela. Completely unencumbered by genre or expectations. And ultimately that is pure Rock’n’Roll. Where family trauma and punk and art collide.”

Be sure to check out the thrilling video the band shot for the single that both enhances and expands the listening experience.
