Source: Album Review: Moonlight Desires – Just the Hits (1981-1985)

Everything on Just the Hits (1981-1985) is incredibly tight, the hard rock stripping the songs of everything but their essence.  Even if you’re not familiar with the original tracks, you’re going to get these songs inside you pretty quick.  Sometimes you just need a break from the heavy and need a little bit of the hard.  Make what innuendos you want from the preceding statement: I’ll be over here rocking in a shower of glitter with a smile on my face a mile wide.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – September 15, 2017

For fans of Sons of Butcher, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, 80s pop hits

Sons of Butcher Creator Trevor Ziebarth Makes 80’s Pop Anthems Go Metal
w/ MOONLIGHT DESIRES New Cover Video “Valerie” via Bravewords

New Album “Just The Hits: 1981-1985” Out Now via Infamous Butcher Records

Moonlight Desires might only play 80s cover songs, but you’d be wrong to dismiss them as just another cover band. Formed by long-time Hamilton, ON musician Trevor Ziebarth (Actor/Writer/Composer on Teletoon’s adult comedy series Sons of Butcher), Moonlight Desires is his ode to the raunchy romances and youthful misadventures of summer’s past. By re-working synth laden pop hits of the 1980s, Ziebarth manages to turn familiar guilty pleasures into modern, guitar-driven rock anthems.

Joined in the studio by drummer Dave Dunham (Not Of, DAVIDS, ex-Chore, ex-Sons Of Butcher) and lead guitarist Marco Bressette (Dead Tired, ex-Threat Signal), their new album “Just The Hits: 1981-1985” transforms timeless hits such as “Sunglasses At Night” by Corey Hart and “Something About You” by Level 42 into party rock anthems.

“On our second album, Just The Hits: 1981-1985, all the songs I selected have a special place in my heart, nostalgic melodies that are still as catchy now as they were back then. It sounds weird but, when I was searching out potentials to cover, whether I was at Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart or even at the Olympics in Russia, I kept hearing these certain songs over and over and I knew they were the ones I was meant to do! If the songs are still being played on the radio to this day, that certainly speaks to how great they are, I’m just making them heavier! To stay consistent with the nostalgic, the album is not only being released digitally and on CD, but we’ve also run a limited edition cassette, which is numbered and autographed (including a download card of course). We’re really excited about the album and hope it’s the soundtrack of every back-to-school jam this year.”says Trevor Ziebarth

With the release of the album out today on September 15, 2017, Moonlight Desires have teamed up with Bravewords.com for the premiere of their second video cover “Valerie” by Steve Winwood.

“Valerie by Steve Winwood has itself been revisited a couple times as an amped up radio mix of the original, and as a more modern dance version, but the original release and video is what we’re spoofing here.  All the green screen and camera magic he used, that may be cliche today, was new and exciting in the 80s, so we tried to have fun with that idea while still playfully tipping our cap to Mr. Winwood.”

“This album is comprised of hard rock 80s pop covers that often border on metal, and it is every bit as fun as it sounds.” – Hellbound.ca

“It is glorious, a less tongue in cheek Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. It is the Alpha and the Omega. Life has meaning, and it’s buried in the dreams of a girl with teased hair and a boy with a tennis racket for a guitar…” – Nine Circles

“…Moonlight Desires’ second offering is filled with the top-notch heavy covers of 80s Synth Pop classics their fans have come to expect.” – Bradmachry.ca
