How would you describe it?

“Bad Moon Rising is an adrenaline-fuelled mix of explosive guitar, infectious drums and piano solos played at break-neck speed. It perfectly encapsulates the Mulholland Jive sound; lively, catchy, piano-heavy, instrumental funk-rock.”

Where was it recorded and mixed?

“North Acre Recording Studio by Jake Day. Jake is also the guitarist in Tom Lumley and the Brave Liaison so I was keen for him to bring a bit of a rockier edge to this track, which he definitely did!”

When releasing a new single is there a sense of excitement or panic?

“Definite excitement! I wrote Bad Moon Rising back in August 2020 and have been playing it with students ever since. They seem to like it so it’s exciting to finally release it officially and hope that it finds a wider audience.”
