In the rough and tumble world of rock & roll, there are many kinds of artists, and many kinds of fans. However, it takes a special kind of dedication to truly be considered a lifer; putting in the years, miles, blood, sweat and tears of living and breathing for chasing your musical vision. Undeniably, Suzi Moon is a rock & roll lifer, and this new double album collection of the recorded output of her band Turbulent Hearts is an essential chapter in the story of that life. After starting off as a young teenager, Suzi Moon spent years touring in the Long Beach punk band Civet before stepping up to the center stage mic with Turbulent Hearts in 2014. The band made their mark in the mid- to late-2010s, and after they parted ways, Suzi Moon moved on to the garage psych combo LA Machina and ultimately, recording under her own name. Across the four sides of Turbulent Hearts: All Out, the band’s entire recorded output, 4 EPs and change over the course of 7 years, is collected in one place for the first time for fans old and new to enjoy.

It is tempting to listen to these songs and pick out the trajectory that would lead Suzi to become a breakout solo act, and indeed, there is plenty of that to listen for, but perhaps these songs are best enjoyed as they were written: immediate, urgent, and in the moment, just like all the best rock & roll. Mass Giorgini stepped up to the plate once again to polish these songs & make them sound like a cohesive unit for this vinyl re-release. Even for those who had the original records, this is the definitive statement from the band. Suzi Moon‘s Turbulent Hearts: All Out is now available from Pirates Press Records on double smoke vinyl and through Bandcamp and streaming platforms.

“This was such a prolific songwriting period for me. I really found my voice with this band, and I could have never done the Suzi Moon band if I hadn’t done my time with the Turbulent Hearts. We started playing local shows. We said yes to every show we got offered. We were just happy to get onstage and play together. It wasn’t about getting famous or changing the world…it was about playing as fast and ferociously as possible, on a fun show with our friends’ bands. Turbulent Hearts is a massive part of my story. I am thankful and excited to be working with my family at Pirates Press Records to finally unleash this collection of 20 songs that mean so much to me.” “ (Suzi Moon)
