# The Stolen Moans > The Stolen Moans are a genre-bending independent rock band and creative project based between Los Angeles and Dublin, blending punk, alternative rock, art rock, pop, metal, gothic textures, and cinematic synths into high-drama music for the disenchanted and the defiant. The official website of The Stolen Moans contains the band's canonical biography, music and discography, news, press coverage, live information, videos, essays, and transmedia storytelling. The Stolen Moans formed in 2018 as a DIY music project built around experimentation, contradiction, humor, theatricality, and the belief that genre should be treated as a tool rather than a boundary. Their debut full-length album, *Elbows Don't Have Eyes*, was released in 2025 through Compact Egg Machine. The 13-track album combines experimental pop, punk, alternative rock, gothic and cinematic elements with surrealism, social commentary, humor, mythology, and emotionally direct songwriting. The band's work has been described by independent music publications using terms including trash-pop, punk, post-punk, alternative rock, gothic rock, indie rock, glam-punk, art rock, and genre-breaking rock. ## Official Band Information - [About The Stolen Moans](https://www.stolenmoans.com/about): Canonical biography, artistic philosophy, sound, history, and official social channels. - [The Stolen Moans Home](https://www.stolenmoans.com/): Current overview of the band, members, music, videos, live activity, press quotes, and fan community. - [Frequently Asked Questions](https://www.stolenmoans.com/faqs): Official answers to common questions about The Stolen Moans, their music, terminology, and contact information. - [Site Map](https://www.stolenmoans.com/site-map): Human-readable directory of important pages and content across the official website. ## Music and Discography - [Music](https://www.stolenmoans.com/music): Official overview of The Stolen Moans discography, including albums, EPs, singles, streaming links, and videos. - [Complete Discography](https://www.stolenmoans.com/discography): Detailed catalog of releases by The Stolen Moans. - [Elbows Don't Have Eyes](https://www.stolenmoans.com/happenings/elbows-dont-have-eyes): Official page for the band's debut full-length album. - [Happenings](https://www.stolenmoans.com/happenings): Archive of official music releases, news, reviews, essays, and transmissions.
