Luna Motif is a dynamic four-piece rock band from Dublin, featuring Gerard McBride on guitar, Christos Salaforis on vocals, Ross Byrne on bass, and Danny Kettle on drums. Together, they craft a powerful and inventive blend of alternative rock, with each release showcasing their experimentation and growth.
Their music resonates with authenticity and passion, taking listeners on a journey through emotions, rebellion, and a deep connection with nature, all designed to uplift the spirit, engage the mind, and stir the soul.
‘Tender Weapons’ opens with ‘Honeydawn’, a track about rebellion for the sake of it. A captivating atmospheric rock composition that softly echoes the timeless connection between humanity and the Earth, wrapping you in a profound spiritual warmth. Luna Motif shows their unique style through fiery guitar riffs and soulful drumbeats that rise and fall in a lilting tempo, creating a dynamic arrangement that acts in harmony with the clean and distorted vocals of Salaforis.
‘Adventure Kids’ amps up the intensity with electrifying energy and a defiant attitude, embodying the spirit of youth and the thrill of freedom. Exuding the swagger of Bon Jovi in 1983, it immediately draws listeners in with a dazzling rhythm driven by a lively drumbeat and a funky bass, providing the perfect foundation for an infectious tune.
‘Primal Forces’ keeps the energy alive, compelling you to unleash your wild side with a fierce rock anthem celebrating the untamed spirit within. Featuring a dense texture with echoing thudding percussion that creates a toe-tapping beat, complemented by a prolonged, heavy guitar that evolves throughout the track into a thick, riff-laden sound, forming a powerful blues-inspired rock style.
‘Firestorm’ begins with a powerful political speech that seamlessly transitions into raucous drums, a catchy bass line, and a rolling guitar. This combination crafts a raw, atmospheric punk anthem against the shadows of government corruption, fueled by anger and a demand for justice. The message is poignantly expressed through the lyrics, “This is a signal / A signal of revolt / They don’t give a f*ck…”.
‘War on the Street’ immerses you in the depths of dark, atmospheric hard rock, serving as a protest song that captures the chaos and cries of a world at war. This is powerfully conveyed through heavy distortion and varying tempos, beginning slowly before escalating with compelling guitar riffs and shredding.
'Tender Weapons' sees Luna Motif embracing alternative rock with confidence, weaving intricate themes of rebellion and defiance while incorporating elements from various genres throughout the EP. This approach invites listeners to reflect thoughtfully while also enjoying dynamic songwriting and a thoroughly engaging listening experience.
