Country Rebel clothing brand shares Neon Moon’s new “Smoking Gun” video, viewed 38,000 times in the first 24 hours
Country Rebel has debuted “Smoking Gun,” the new video from Moon. It was viewed 38,000 times in the first 24 hours after it premiered.
Smoking Gun,” the second of Neon Moon’s new singles, is a minor-key stomp with pop sensibility for days—a love ‘em and leave ‘em anthem as catchy as it is persistent.

Americana UK debuts Sara Rachele’s new single, “Terry Richardson”
Sarah Rachele’s last album ‘Scorpio Moon’ had a richly layered augmented band sound, but the follow up ‘Scorpio Sun’ which is due out this year has ripped up that design and started afresh with the emphasis on the raw, the personal and the stripped back. It means that there’s nothing between the listener and the song, just the rawness laid out in full view.
