“If The Moonlandingz sometimes seem so ludicrous it feels like they’ve stepped from of the pages of a particularly surreal story, it’s because they have. Starting life in the imagination of Sheffield experimental outfit Eccentronic Research Council, they were the fictional band at the centre of their 2012 concept album ‘Johnny Rocket, Narcissist, & Music Machine… I’m Your Biggest Fan’ narrated by ”
“Where to begin with The Moonlandingz? Originally conceived as the object of Maxine Peake’s obsession for The Eccentronic Research Council’s superlative ‘Johnny Rocket’ album, the once-fictional band has broken into the real world, Roger Rabbit-style. It helps that ‘Interplanetary Class Classics’ far surpasses the band’s original brief of “cosmic synth Krautabilly group, doing fuzzy Joe Meek-style”
“For a 'fictional' band, The Moonlandingz have made a pretty great album”
