Info for Thunderlust

Honest. Seasoned. Instinctive. With “Thunderlust”, Moon Shot open an electrifying new chapter in fall 2026 – louder, bolder and clearer than ever before. The band’s third studio album will be released in autumn 2026 and marks the next major step for a group that is no longer searching for its path, but has fully found it.

They say the third album is the hardest. For Moon Shot, it became a process of openness, scars – and ultimately, absolute clarity. After the raw force of “The Power”, the band returns sharpened and united. The honeymoon phase is over. What remains is a tight unit forged by hundreds of club shows and festivals across Europe.

“Thunderlust” captures exactly that energy: a sound like a worn leather jacket – familiar, yet tougher, with edges and attitude. Their “21st Century Rock” doesn’t chase trends. It combines the punch of classic rock, the urgency of punk and the intensity of alternative – always rooted in the here and now.

Moon Shot are, at their core, a live band. On stage, their songs shed their skin and take on a life of their own – something you simply can’t fake. If “The Power” was a sledgehammer, “Thunderlust” is a journey: intense, colorful and unapologetically sincere.

Forged on club stages, festival fields and headline tours across Europe, the album combines the strength of classic rock, the urgency of punk and the intensity of alternative music, all filtered through Moon Shot’s unmistakably modern identity. Rather than chasing trends, the band follows instinct, authenticity and a deep belief in the transformative power of rock music. The songs on Thunderlust are bold, dynamic and emotionally honest. Exploring themes of courage, vulnerability, self-discovery and perseverance, the album embraces uncertainty while pushing relentlessly forward. Heavy, colorful and immersive, it invites listeners to trust their instincts, feel deeply and lose themselves in the journey. More than a collection of songs, Thunderlust is a celebration of connection – the unique energy that exists between band and audience when music is experienced together. Authentic, passionate and built for the stage, Thunderlust marks the next evolution of Moon Shot.

MOON SHOT
The way the world is throwing up craziness upon us, no twenty-something rock star can shock us with some old-fashioned hotel room obliteration before the break of dawn. We need new ways to get our release from the mad world because the old cliches are no longer relevant. For Moon Shot, the no nonsense let-the-music-do-the-wowing approach has been clear from moment zero – instead of the fly high and burn Icarus-type lifestyle (their past is familiar with that too), they come at us with a common sense approach, rewriting the Rock’n’Roll dream as something lasting. With tunes that give you release.

Where once there was posturing, now it’s about showing your burns, cuts and fragility. Being honest! While also having fun and making touching power tunes with melodies big enough to build bridges between planets, nations, ex-lovers or estranged family members.

First, let’s take a look at how Moon Shot actually got to this place called now. Like any moonshot, it’s a dream before it becomes reality. This is true of the moon landing (d’uh), pretty much any rock band ever started by a pimply teen (applies to these guys’ former bands Children of Bodom, Disco Ensemble and Lapko), creating the greatest stamp collection in the world or renovating the hell out of your home. Whatever makes your dreams tick. Always: first imagination, then action.

In the case of Moon Shot, whose debut Confession hit us in the collective gut in October 2021, that dream was following a first career in bands with which they grew into musicians. Who knew what would happen before putting out tracks to burn your socks off and heading out to engage with people at gigs. It was just four guys getting together to make music hot on the heels of decades making music and touring like hectic evil-eyed-bunnies.

WELL, SPOILER ALERT, GOOD STUFF HAPPENED.

Really. Things just flew up, up and away – this was a moonshot to a new planet of sound to introduce us to honest-to-rock 21st century Rock’n’Roll. And the guys are still accelerating on that high of a loving reception.

This album contains no booklet.
