Q: Welcome! Can you introduce yourself to our readers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> Thanks for having us \u2013 it\u2019s good to be here. John (lead vocals, bass) and I (Dom\/Drums) formed The Lunar Keys from the fertile ashes of a previous band ;-). In February 2020 we completed the Lunar crew when we met guitarist The Steve (in a London bar, playing Rihanna\u2019s Umbrella on a ukulele) and keyboardist Lexi. Our mission is to have our music spread energy, hope, and a sense of empowerment, a kind of \u2018C\u2019mon\u2026.let\u2019s do it\u2019 feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How would you describe your sound to someone who\u2019s not heard your music before?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> We\u2019re a rock band that passionately crafts heartfelt songs with a classic timeless feel and a contemporary twist. The comments people leave on YouTube give a good insight into what resonates with our listeners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: You recently released your new single \u201d Life is a Dirty War \u201d, can you tell us what the song is about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> The song is a play on the expression \u2018All is fair in Love & War\u2019 and deals with being in a bad relationship whilst facing life\u2019s daily struggles but not surrendering, likening the experience to being in a war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t live like that no more \u2013 I\u2019ve escaped from this before \u2013 You can\u2019t break me to the core \u2013 Life is a Dirty War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: When did you realize that you wanted to become a musician?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> I asked for my first drum kit shortly after hearing \u2018Back in the USSR\u2019 by The Beatles when I was about 4. I\u2019m not sure I had a career in mind (or knew what that was \ud83d\ude09), but I was clear that I had to do this. Drumming and making music have been my lifeboat ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What inspires you the most to write your songs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> Life. We are 4 anxious types with lots of tunes and nervous energy trapped in our psyches and music is our therapy. Writing about something is cathartic. Music is the place we go to when the world gets too much and we come back stronger. Every time. We sing about the fact that things could be better on our planet, but we never do so without optimism and hope. I think of our music as uplifting and would love for it to play a part in people taking charge of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Who would be your ultimate dream collaboration with, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> There are 4 artists in The Lunar Keys: JC, Lexi, Steve, and Dom. We all love collaborating with each other: Now, tomorrow, and hopefully for a long time to come. Up the Lunars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: If there\u2019s one song from your catalog that you wish everyone in the world could listen to, which one would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> \u2018If It Was\u2019 The Lunar Keys \u2013 IF IT Was (Official Video) \u2013 YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What do you have planned for the year ahead?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> We\u2019re going to pour our hearts and souls into everything we do: writing, recording, releasing, performing, and growing. And we\u2019re going to enjoy ourselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
