Atlanta-based glam punk rockers Starbenders have today dropped a new single and music video for “Blood Moon“ (out via Sumerian Records). Speaking on today’s release, the band shares:
“It’s been feeling like everything is crumbling around us as we seem to be hurtling toward an apocalyptic destiny. At some point, you come to the understanding that things have been this way since recorded history. Now we’ve been down for so long that it’s beginning to look like up. Instead of succumbing to frustration and rage, we decided to become one with the chaos and make some noise. Blood Moon is our catharsis.“
Watch the music video for “Blood Moon“ below.
Fans can see Starbenders on the road with Palaye Royale on their Fever Dream North American Tour starting today in Tempe, AZ. The band has also announced a slew of new tour dates in Japan as well. For ticket information, please click here.

Atlanta alt-glam band Starbenders will release their hotly anticipated single, “Blood Moon”, on September 13 through Sumerian Records, fresh on the heels of 2020’s Love Potion studio album and serving as the follow-up to 2019’s Japanese Rooms EP. These are words similar to those which you will read on countless press releases, but there really isn’t anyone else out there doing what Starbenders have been doing since forming in 2014: The intoxicating combination of ‘70s glitter and ‘80s glam with new wave and new romantic, seduced into this new decade by four thrilling musicians and, in frontwoman Kimi Shelter, one of the most exciting songwriters in contemporary rock & roll.
