Bella will not let go of that toy gun. He broke one on stage, and returned to Casa Bonita to buy another one for the photo shoot. Hahaha, our lead singer is a little boy. As are the rest of us.

That same sense of nervousness has helped propel his bandmates to new heights in creating their most cohesive sound to date. On Hello Moon, the outfit's latest effort, the group has managed to capture the energy of its potent live shows, and from a songwriting standpoint, tunes like "Love Language" are notably accessible yet admirably complex — not unlike the band itself.
Accessible and complex aptly describe the overall creative approach of Monroe Monroe, a band that seems to gainfully inhabit the fertile territory between both of those designations. Take the title of the new EP, for instance: The inspiration for Hello Moon came from Abbatecola's frequent lunar-related Facebook status updates, of all things. "Every time there's a full moon, or at least a beautiful night where you can at least see a part of it," he explains, "I usually post a status about it."

Hello Moon wasn't the only name Abbatecola presented to his bandmates, but it's the one that stuck. And when you consider the other names that were submitted, it's not hard to see why Hello Moon was chosen. After all, it's quite a bit more accessible than the title of Moon's planned followup, Ampullae of Lorenzini, which is already in the works.
"It's the name for the radar scientists use to detect the heartbeats of great white sharks," Abbatecola reveals.
Evidently, you can learn more than just music living in Antarctica with scientists.

I'm guessing JG heard "Adore" after he'd already written "Sing for Me." I wouldn't take it personally, he was probably just messing with you.
I propose a new game. The game is "Guess the Lead Singer".
It's simple. You look at a picture of a band and without knowing anything about them you guess the lead singer.
And ten times out of ten you will be right.
