DEAD MOON
Legendary husband-and-wife-led rock band that epitomized the DIY lifestyle.
Dead Moon, a three-piece from Clackamas, Oregon, are known for their own particular
brand of rootsy garage punk. Their music conjures images of hard-luck easy riders
and lovers against the world. While their sound alternates between moody
and aggressive, it is always remarkably genuine and energetic.
The band is fronted by the husband-and-wife team of Fred and Toody Cole

Unknown Passage was Dead Moon's second album, following 1988's In the Graveyard,
but as a statement of creative purpose, it was a major step up from the debut, opening
with the fierce "Dead Moon Night," whose self-reflexive lyric and lean, unrelenting attack
made it sound like the band's theme song. While Unknown Passage appeared less than
a year after In the Graveyard, it had been just long enough for Dead Moon's signature
sound to fall firmly into place -- Fred Cole's growling guitar riffs and reedy, insistent
vocals holding sway over Toody Cole's rich, solid basslines and supportive harmonies,
and Andrew Loomis' simple but muscular drumming, as the band lays out a heady
combination of garage rock, proto-punk, blues, and early heavy rock. While Dead Moon's
lo-fi/D.I.Y. approach to record making is clearly audible in Unknown Passage's no-frills
production and monophonic sound mix, as usual this trio made a virtue out of
limited resources; the aggressively straightforward audio is a superb match for
the urgency of tunes like "54/40," "My Escape," and "Evil Eye,"
and a ferocious cover of "Time Has Come Today" is the icing on the cake...(AllMusic)
