MOON DESTROYS is the brainchild of guitarist Juan Montoya (ex-Torche, MonstrO) and drummer Evan Diprima (Gold Pyramid, ex-Royal Thunder). The band debuted with their EP Maiden Voyage in 2020 before taking a brief hiatus. In 2024, vocalist/guitarist Charlie Suárez (MonstrO, Sunday Driver) and bassist Arnold Nese (Sunday Driver) joined the lineup. Suárez had previously performed alongside Montoya in the Miami/Atlanta-based band MonstrO.
Combining elements of heavy rock and psychedelia, MOON DESTROYS is a powerhouse of seasoned musicians. In the summer of 2024, the band self-recorded and produced their debut full-length album, She Walks by Moonlight, which was out on April 4, 2025, via Moon Destroys and Limited Fanfare.
It was my pleasure to have Juan Montoya on the Interview to talk on She Walks By Moonlight and much on Moon Destroys. Check out the complete coverage on the below YouTube Video.
