MEET THE MOANS

The Stolen Moans running through Los Angeles during the Damned Sweet era

The Stolen Moans are a grene-bending DIY trio making high-end drama noise for the disenchanted and the defiant. Formed in the wreckage of past bands and broken systems, they stitch together punk, pop, metal, and cinematic synths into something raw, wry, and weirdly danceable.

Their debut album, Elbows Don’t Have Eyes, is a 13-track trip (11 songs + 2 instrumentals) of heartbreak, vengeance, and rebirth, told through distortion, ritual, and riot grrrl spirit. From the haunted shimmer of “Morning Scars” to the Dada-fueled blitz of “Dada Catapult”, The Moans trade in sonic sabotage and soul exposure.
