South Florida post-hardcore outfit Good Night Moon have returned with their first release in nearly 20 years, a fully re-recorded self-titled EP now available on all streaming platforms. The five-song collection was produced by Matt Marino (Fame on Fire, MGK) and Ian Marchionda (Suck Brick Kid, Superbloom), mixed by Aaron Marsh (Copeland), and mastered by Jonathan Berlin (Underoath, Anberlin), bringing the band’s early-2000s sound into sharp, modern focus while preserving the emotional core that made them a staple of Florida’s independent music circuit. Vocalist JB Corey is candid about what drove the project: “We only kept songs that translated well 20 years later. These songs about heartbreak, healing, and growing as a person still resonate at 36 as they did at 16. Maybe they are in different context but I still feel like the same person when we wrote these songs and their meaning just hits different now.”
Good Night Moon built their reputation performing at iconic Florida venues including Ray’s Downtown Blues, Spanky’s, Swampgrass Willies, and The Orange Door, earning a regional following that grew into opportunities to open for Bayside, Hellogoodbye, Taking Back Sunday, and My Chemical Romance. The band disbanded in 2009, and the return to these songs has carried real weight for everyone involved. “Revisiting these songs after two decades has been surreal,” the band shares. “They’ve been melodies stuck in our heads for 20 years. To finally bring them back to life and share them with our fans, friends, and families has been a full-circle experience.” Keeping the project rooted in the community that raised them was a deliberate choice: “It’s a reflection of the community that helped us grow, both musically and personally.”
The EP’s return to life comes with a return to the stage. Good Night Moon have announced their first live shows in over a decade, with performances at Swampgrass Willie’s in Palm Beach Gardens on April 17 and Will’s Pub in Orlando on April 18, both featuring special guests Five Cent Wish and Northvale.
