Moon Bandits

Band submission. Moon Bandits are a two-piece folk punk band from Los Angeles, California. I suppose they do warrant comparisons to other great folk punk bands, such as Ghost Mice, Ramshackle Glory, or Defiance, Ohio, but they're way too definitive to dismiss them as being just another. For one, the instrumentation they use consists mainly of a banjo and violin, which sound incredible together. There's tons of great harmonies, the melodies are catchy and memorable, and the lyrics are well-written and could have come from an anarcho-punk band or something (as well as the artwork, actually). Everything is just great, all around. I'm personally really enjoying this, and highly suggest checking it out.
