This month's featured group is Moon Veil
Moon Veil is a young and promising psychedelic pop rock band from Colorado that began their journey in January of 2022. Despite their short time together, the band has already started to make a name for themselves in the music scene with their unique sound, blending vintage guitar riffs and synthesizers with a grooving rhythm section, catchy pop melodies, and mind-bending yet relatable lyrics. Formed by friends and music veterans Korben Mitchell (lead vocals), Skye Lewis (drums), Julian Dillon (guitar), Jon Murphy (bass), and later adding James Phillips (lead guitar and synth), Moon Veil was born out of a shared love for the music of the 60s and 70s, as well as a desire to create something fresh and original. Their upcoming debut album, titled "The Unknown", promises to be a mesmerizing and dreamy journey through space and time, and in the meantime, they have released two singles with warm critical reception. Indie Obsessive had this to say about the band and their first single: "“Radio” is a hook-laden single with a diversity that maintains its freshness from start to the final moments of sustained guitar anguish...Moon Veil is a force from both the instrumental and vocal perspectives." Already, they have shared the stage with Magic Beans, Jimkata, Tenth Mountain Division, and Joe Hertler & the Rainbow Seekers. With their talent and dedication, Moon Veil is poised to become a rising star in the world of psychedelic rock.
