notes
Full Moon Blanket has been growing, adapting, and maturing for several years. During this time, the group has established a name with a professional reputation always associated with good music. Singer/songwriter Tim Kelly, with help from his brother/partner Jon, hooked up with composer/bass player Matt Phillips to create a new original sound.
FMB has worked to find its voice in a sea of original rock-n-roll acts. Born the love child of classic rock and modern alterna-grunge, the band's early days saw a garage band evolve into a more progressive college group. The voice of the band has changed as well, from classic power singers to female vocals. The band continues to eveolve, but with a talented and devoted new voice. After years of making harmonic magic, singing backups (as well as writing plenty of lyrics), the ultimate front man is born...from the guitar player (who knew?).
Operating as a four-piece for years, the new millennium saw the band in a new light. The trio began focusing on new material that highlights the many styles the band has traversed, from hard driving rock-n-roll, to quirky, soulful alternative.
Another first is just that; another debut album from the group with a familiar name. It is also the final premier from the band that has matured and found its sound.

Somewhere between a power pop kiss and alt-rock punch lies Full Moon Blanket.
author: Birmingham Buzz Music E ZineThe album kicks off with the infectious “Matter Of Time”, a melodic rocker about a rocky relationship that ultimately ends. This song has multiple hooks, with the prime one being “you say you know me but you don’t”. The second track is called “One Wish”, a peppy power pop song reminiscent of another local band The Lolas. The lyrics again tackle a troubled relationship, with the witty chorus “you say you never want to see me again, I can make that wish come true, maybe one day you’ll sing a different tune”. The harmonies and song-craft are solid, only slightly marred by the track’s abrupt fadeout. Next is “Fight Or Flight”, another catchy power pop tune about a failing relationship, with a chorus proclaiming “I am letting go”. There are more similarities to The Lolas here, particularly in the vocals. The fourth track “Dig” is the highlight of the album. It starts with an instant-classic riff and builds to the memorable chorus “I dig down deep”. With great harmonies and multiple hooks, this song would fit right in with the Cheap Trick catalogue of hits. Track #5 is “Another Sorry”, a song about how sometimes apologies just aren’t enough. This is a weak spot on the album, as it has no hooks that really stick. Track #6 is a peaceful acoustic interlude appropriately entitled “The Sweet Spot”. Next is “17 Good Ways”, a mid-tempo tune about road trips and relationships. In this powerful song, two elements stand out: the acappella outro chorus “leaving the driving to me”, and the clever wordplay in “counterfeit bill in a counterfeit country, I counter to see if she’s fit to come home”. The eighth track is “March”, an upbeat song with great harmonies. This is the other weak spot on here, primarily due to the lack of a definite chorus. Track #9 is an unlisted, untitled interlude that adds some atmosphere to the album. The final track is “At A Loss”, a compelling, harmony-filled song that expands on the ambiance of the preceding interlude. This is a sobering tale of trying to help a friend who has a drug problem (“needle and a pipe”). He tells the friend, “together we could break the chains and set you free...but you can’t depend on me”. This is a strong effort from the guys of Full Moon Blanket. With the style (harmonies and wordplay) backed by substance (hooks and story-songs), this album has it all. I can safely say “Another First” won’t be their last.
