Minor Moon – An Opening LP
Sam Cantor has a lot on. First and foremost, he’s the lead singer/songwriter for Chicago-based band Minor Moon. He’s also a music teacher and, on occasion, he plays music at children’s birthday parties. It was during one of these children’s parties when he, feeling cynical about the world’s carelessness post-2016 election, came to a realization: that having this child’s future matter, in many ways, was the antithesis of apathy.

HEAVY PETTIN’ Working On New Album And Annouce 1st Batch of 2019 Dates
Heavy Pettin’ first stirred into action when vocalist Hamie, guitarists Gordon Bonnar and Punky Mendoza, drummer Gary Moat and bassist Brian Waugh first burst out of Glasgow in 1981. They were vibrant, priapic, anthemic and focused. As they showed on a three-track demo, and on the subsequent debut single for independent label Neat (‘Roll The Dice’/’Love Xs Love’), they were more than mere Def Leppard slaves. In fact, the Pettin’ had an international sound that owed something to AC/DC, UFO, Thin Lizzy and Foreigner, but also had its own raging momentum.
