MOON IS THE NEW EARTH is the debut album by Rose Hill Drive, a retro-feeling indie rock trio from Boulder, Colorado, born of an apparent love of Led Zeppelin, the Who, and other classic rock stalwarts. The heavy, bluesy rock of these 12 songs owes much to the likes of the Black Crowes and My Morning Jacket. Highlights include the powerful "Laughing in the Streets." MOON IS THE NEW EARTH is available as a digital download, a standard CD, and a vinyl LP.
Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "'Sneak Out' opens with a great wrecking-ball riff, but the real action is the wily shifts in licks and meter, the way the band veers from a burglar's creep to full throttle without thrashing the tune."
Spin (pp.103-104) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Do You Wanna Get High?' is an acoustic laugh that turns into a Zeppelin bomb. Hipness be damned, a tour with the Racounteurs would benefit both."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.46) - "[T]he guitars remains set to stun...when it comes to kicking out the jams these boys are all business."
