‘With Monsters and Gods’ is The Hillbilly Moon Explosion’s sixth album, and probably their best?  Exhilarating rock’n’roll that's also musically diverse!

A half-English, quarter Italian, quarter French 4-piece hidden abroad in the unlikely habitat of Switzerland, they’ve honed their craft without distraction for many years.  Searching for the right sound they’ve previously recorded in San Diego, Camden and Tooting, but for this album they went back to the local Swiss studio where they made their early rockabilly albums, allowing more time to get it spot on.

The line-up is chanteuse Emanuela Hutter, Oliver Baroni on vocals and stand-up bass, Duncan James on guitar and Sylvain Petite on drums; ‘With Monsters and Gods’ is also embellished by Oliver’s latent piano skills.  The esteemed Pete Thomas provided saxophone, he also played live with the band alongside Geraint Watkins on keyboards on a recent European tour. 

They straddle genres with ease, playing divergent gigs such as the Jazz Café, the Punk Rebellion Festival, Boomtown Festival, and as guests of the Swiss national team at the London Olympics. 

16 TRACKS: - In Space, Temptation, Depression, Down on Your Knees, Midnight Blues, Desperation, With Monsters and Gods, Love You Better, Black Ghost, Heartbreak Boogie, Call Me, You Miss Something, Jackson, Rose Outside.
