The Moonhearts

The Moonhearts, also referred to as Charlie and The Moonhearts as well as Moonhearts, are a three-piece surf punk and garage rock band formed in Laguna Beach, California, in 2006.[1][2] Both drummer, Charles Moothart[3] and bassist/vocalist Mikal Cronin are known for their collaborations with Ty Segall, as well as members of Segall's backing band, The Ty Segall Band.[4] In 2009 while touring with Ty Segall, The Moonhearts signed with Trouble in Mind Records.[5] Since 2006 the group has released two EP's, Drop in Drop Out, and I Think You're Swell.[6][7] As well as three albums, Moonhearts, a split LP with Teen Anger referred to as Charlie and The Moonhearts / Teen Anger, or simply Split LP, Thunder Beast and their debut self title, Charlie and The Moonhearts.[8][9]

In 2016, Charlies Moothart described the dynamic of the band: "Mikal Cronin wrote most of the music for Moonhearts. I just played drums. I wrote one song - which Mikal wrote the vocal melody for and helped me finish - but I just played the drums in that band so the name is misleading. The name started as kind of a joke because we were young and didn’t really think too much about it."[10]
