Press Quotes:

“There are plenty of exciting and unique bands all over the state of New Jersey, but nobody—and I mean nobody—sounds quite like the spontaneous, remarkable Francie Moon.” -Record Crates United

“[Francie Moon is] a prolific powerhouse of DIY output that features her edgy distinct voice and slam it to the bedroom wall guitar playing set to heartfelt emotional lyrics that could soar with the best of classic and contemporary poets.”-Popa’s Tunes

“Francie Moon is, at this point, a New Jersey institution, a force creating balls-out rock n roll that is at turns, psych, garage, and punk, imbuing it with urgency and confidence. Alternating between raging and chill, All The Same shows off both sides of their personality, a duality that feels immediate and lasting.”-King Pizza Records

“Led by Melissa Lucciola, their mix of soul, folk, country twang, garage punk, and psych pop is brilliantly unique, bolstered by the undeniable strength of Lucciola’s vocal howls and melodic swells. Her voice is something special, a gloriously commanding presence that sounds as new and uncommon as it does worn in and retro. The band are running free, creating concise songs that are beholden to no genre expectations, embracing rock music and let their wandering freak-soul come spilling out.”-Post Trash

“Moon’s style of combining garage, psych, blues and punk creates a sound that is both evocative and compelling. Basically, as my friend musician John Cozz said of her recently, ‘She rips.’” -You Don’t Know Jersey

“A trip into the current incarnation of what today’s scuzzy, fuzzy & fun Americana is all about.”-Impose Magazine
