Dead Moon - Hard Wired In Ljubljana
Review by Benoît Bochkoltz
The album "Hard Wired In Ljubljana" by Dead Moon is a powerful collection of live recordings that capture the raw energy and intensity of the band's performance. Recorded during their 1997 tour in Slovenia, the album features 13 tracks that showcase Dead Moon's signature blend of punk, garage rock, and country.
From the opening track "Dead Moon Night" to the closing number "Unknown Passage," the album is a relentless barrage of fast-paced drums, scorching guitar riffs, and haunting vocals. Fred Cole's gravelly voice is particularly captivating, conveying a sense of urgency and passion that draws the listener in.
The band's chemistry is also on full display, with the trio's tight musicianship and intuitive interplay creating a cohesive and dynamic sound. Songs like "Out on a Wire" and "Dagger Moon" showcase Dead Moon's ability to blend punk energy with melodic hooks, while tracks like "Walking on My Grave" and "54-40 or Fight" showcase their more country-infused side.

Notes
- "Welcome to the second live-album of DEAD MOON. Hard Wired In Ljublijana - Live Mono is by all means contradictional to 'unplugged'. On this 2nd live album you will not find any reprise from Livevil (MMLP/CD038). All songs were recorded during their extended Autumn 1996 Tour through Europe, touring from Finland to Greece and from Amsterdam to Kiev. A live album like this is a logical must. All songs grew throughout the years between the period they were written, practiced and recorded and the period of their extended tours in which the songs changed and developed to a higher level as you will hear. Every band should actually go on tour first to present and practice, alive as it happens, then return to recording-facilities ad preserve. It's the only way to judge the truth within their music. Absorb and capture Dead Moon in their element live on stage. It's a revelation for every one of us, including me." Hans Kesteloo - 1997
