1:52 Speaker 2: as young as as you all are who can pull

1:54 Speaker 2: off the sophistication of of your songs. And and I

2:15 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's called secondary school.

2:16 Speaker 1: Here, but yeah, secondary school okay.

2:18 Speaker 2: And then so did this band actually start well, actually,

2:23 Speaker 2: so is one of you still in high school or

2:25 Speaker 2: secondary school?

2:27 Speaker 6: And so actually two of those are yeah, two of you,

2:30 Speaker 6: two of us are and.

2:31 Speaker 5: Then the two other guys they just finished their last year.

2:33 Speaker 3: Like the other one.

2:35 Speaker 1: So yeah, outstanding.

2:36 Speaker 2: So starting this band, uh obviously with with some members

2:41 Speaker 2: still in school. I mean, how did this come about?

2:44 Speaker 2: How did how did the four of you come together

2:46 Speaker 2: to perform Moonlight Eclips?

2:48 Speaker 3: So we have this like this kind of it's called

2:51 Speaker 3: transition year. It's it's kind.

2:53 Speaker 4: Of just this year where you go on a bunch

2:55 Speaker 4: of trips and stuff, and it's like it's kind of

2:57 Speaker 4: like it's kind of like a doss area break year

3:00 Speaker 4: in between the other years.

3:01 Speaker 5: Just like figure out what you want to do.

3:02 Speaker 4: And me and Lucas the guitarist we were during that year.

3:07 Speaker 4: We wanted to do something because we were doing like

3:09 Speaker 4: basically nothing, So we said we'd start learning instruments and

3:14 Speaker 4: we try and start a band.

3:16 Speaker 3: So me and Lucas and then two.

3:19 Speaker 4: Other people from that year started just like learning guitars

3:22 Speaker 4: and I started learning.

3:23 Speaker 3: Drums and stuff.

3:24 Speaker 4: We didn't think it was going to go anywhere, but

3:26 Speaker 4: like we just said, we'd do it for the crack,

3:27 Speaker 4: for the fun. Yeah, And then so we did that

3:32 Speaker 4: for like one or two months, and then the other

3:34 Speaker 4: two people kind of stopped they but then we met blocking.

3:39 Speaker 5: Yeah, because I'd been like playing a lot of music.

3:42 Speaker 5: I played music for like two years for this.

3:44 Speaker 6: Yeah, and we like me and if because I own

3:47 Speaker 6: our siblings, yeah, I mean because we're we're two years

3:51 Speaker 6: below owning Lucas and they would be practicing like with

3:54 Speaker 6: they're a band in the music room, and mean if

3:56 Speaker 6: we're just like chilling on the other side, that's say

3:58 Speaker 6: we're really by paying the little sister and her best friend.

4:01 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was.

4:02 Speaker 5: Like I always wants to be in a band. That

4:04 Speaker 5: was like kind of my like dream.

4:06 Speaker 3: But then came up to me, yeah, oh yeah, my

4:09 Speaker 3: friends a singer.

4:10 Speaker 4: Do you want to you want she joined the band

4:13 Speaker 4: because we're like, okay, yeah, we'll hear her.

4:15 Speaker 3: So then we heard her singing. I was like, oh wow,

4:17 Speaker 3: yeah this could actually work.

4:19 Speaker 6: Yeah, so this I didn't until much later after that

4:23 Speaker 6: the social media.

4:25 Speaker 3: She was joined because we needed a basic.

4:28 Speaker 5: Face for the band, because that's it kind of just

4:32 Speaker 5: like it just worked.

4:33 Speaker 4: We started practicing and we actually realized we're actually very good,

4:36 Speaker 4: so we were Yeah, so then it kind of just

4:42 Speaker 4: kept growing and growing.

4:43 Speaker 3: You know.

4:44 Speaker 2: Yeah, it almost it sounds like, I mean, my perception

4:47 Speaker 2: from what you're saying, tell me if I'm right, is

4:49 Speaker 2: that you you went into this with no particular expectations, right.

4:53 Speaker 5: And then our first single, I think it was two

4:57 Speaker 5: months we've been a band.

5:00 Speaker 6: I had to playing their instruments for two months, and

5:03 Speaker 6: basically my parents, because I play music for ages, they

5:05 Speaker 6: got me like a little voucher for a recording studio

5:08 Speaker 6: and just for Christmas, and I was like, well, guys,

5:11 Speaker 6: we need to write a song and go.

5:17 Speaker 3: I remember hearing that first song.

5:19 Speaker 4: We played that song and I thought it was like

5:21 Speaker 4: the best write.

5:23 Speaker 6: Yeah, It's like it's like the simplest song. It has

5:26 Speaker 6: the five chords over and over again.

5:28 Speaker 3: We're like this, We're like, all this song is absolutely amazing,

5:32 Speaker 3: you know.

5:33 Speaker 5: I remember you went into the bathroom to call your

5:34 Speaker 5: dad and I was like, oh my god, we just

5:36 Speaker 5: wrote a hit. I was only like thirteen at the time.

5:40 Speaker 3: Been a few months later listening back on it, it's

5:44 Speaker 3: not a great song.

5:47 Speaker 2: No, That's is remarkable how quickly it came together. And

5:49 Speaker 2: then of course here here you are. Now you're you're

5:53 Speaker 2: on American radio.

5:54 Speaker 1: Already, So that's so that's great.

5:58 Speaker 2: I'm curious too about influences, partly because you know you're

6:03 Speaker 2: in Ireland and also too you're so young, Like who

6:07 Speaker 2: are who are some of your And I'm sure among

6:09 Speaker 2: the four of you, you know, there's a variety of

6:11 Speaker 2: different influences, but I'm curious who you all listen to

6:15 Speaker 2: over there and who you're influenced by.

6:16 Speaker 1: Musically.

6:19 Speaker 6: Well, I'm not going to speak for the whole band,

6:21 Speaker 6: but for me, like, like I know, we played rock

6:25 Speaker 6: and it's definitely edging on the heavy side. But like,

6:28 Speaker 6: I can't say that pop doesn't influence my songwriting because

6:31 Speaker 6: normally the songs that I write and then show to

6:33 Speaker 6: the band, they're very kind of like poppy in that way,

6:36 Speaker 6: and then we kind of bring them into that. But yeah,

6:39 Speaker 6: like I don't know, definitely influence the pop, but I

6:41 Speaker 6: look like System move Down and like I've listened to

6:45 Speaker 6: a lot of their music, so I think it's kind

6:47 Speaker 6: of a mix of a lot of different genres.

6:49 Speaker 4: Yeah, like we all come from fairly different backgrounds, like

6:53 Speaker 4: music wise, Yes, yeah.

6:55 Speaker 3: I did a lot of traditional music when I was

6:57 Speaker 3: younger and.

6:57 Speaker 4: Stuff, but yes, that's why, like I also listened to

7:02 Speaker 4: heavy stuff as well though, But then like Etho would

7:04 Speaker 4: listen to some pop music, I listened to like some

7:07 Speaker 4: heavy music. Bline listen to another genre, and then they

7:10 Speaker 4: all kind of come together to make this kind of

7:12 Speaker 4: new thing. You know. It's like, yeah, influences come from

7:16 Speaker 4: all over the place. Yeah, it's not set on one

7:18 Speaker 4: set kind of thing.

7:19 Speaker 3: You know, Like they.

7:20 Speaker 5: Don't like some of the music I listened to, and

7:22 Speaker 5: I would like some like you know, it's kind of

7:24 Speaker 5: like so much we all bring it together.

7:26 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that's great.

7:28 Speaker 2: What what is it like there in terms of if

7:30 Speaker 2: you're to be to be your age going through the

7:34 Speaker 2: school system there? What what is it like in terms

7:37 Speaker 2: of the arts because here in the United States, you know,

7:40 Speaker 2: it varies a lot depending on the school system and

7:43 Speaker 2: how much money they put into their budgets and whatnot.

7:46 Speaker 2: There's some school systems that are very encouraging of you know,

7:50 Speaker 2: they have music classes and everything, and and some some

7:52 Speaker 2: school systems are just cutting everything.

7:55 Speaker 1: But I'm curious what it's like over there.

7:57 Speaker 2: And and maybe the four of you have had similar

7:59 Speaker 2: experiences or different experiences, but I'm curious what like like

8:03 Speaker 2: when you're growing up and you decide to do something

8:05 Speaker 2: like this is the the education system.

8:08 Speaker 1: They're very encouraging.

8:10 Speaker 2: It kind of sounds like like it is because you mentioned,

8:13 Speaker 2: uh one of you is it called the discovery year?

8:15 Speaker 1: Is that what you called it?

8:17 Speaker 2: Transit transition year, which which I've heard of before, But

8:21 Speaker 2: so I'm assuming there's there's kind of a support system

8:24 Speaker 2: there if you want to get into the arts, right.

8:27 Speaker 5: Yeah.

8:28 Speaker 7: Yeah, the school we uh go to went to, know,

8:32 Speaker 7: they're very supportive with everything Kanya did because it's kind

8:36 Speaker 7: of a small school.

8:37 Speaker 5: You kind of know all the teachers and everything there.

8:40 Speaker 7: Like for the music, We're so grateful for the school

8:44 Speaker 7: because they let us stay in the music room during

8:47 Speaker 7: lunch breaks and in the morning before classes started.

8:52 Speaker 5: Yeah.

8:52 Speaker 3: Yeah, do practice write songs in there. A lot of

8:55 Speaker 3: writing went on in there and everything.

8:58 Speaker 8: And even in transition year, there's like play as you do,

9:02 Speaker 8: and they just take you to a bunch of different places,

9:05 Speaker 8: like there was a comedy show or something at one

9:08 Speaker 8: point as well, just get people interested in like the

9:13 Speaker 8: arts around the place and everything.

9:17 Speaker 9: Like they definitely like for the last and the two

9:19 Speaker 9: three years, every lunch break we've you know, had guitars

9:23 Speaker 9: drove glass like singing our hearts out and it's right,

9:27 Speaker 9: like the wall between the music room and the massive

9:29 Speaker 9: like lunch.

9:30 Speaker 5: Hole is as thin as a piece of paper.

9:33 Speaker 6: And everyone has to listen to her music every single day.

9:36 Speaker 6: So I'm pretty grateful that they will get up with

9:38 Speaker 6: them for so long. And we go to an all

9:39 Speaker 6: Irish school as well. Yeah, we take Irish all day.

9:42 Speaker 10: So in school, did they do you guys get opportunities

9:45 Speaker 10: to like learn string instruments or.

9:49 Speaker 5: Like we all.

9:50 Speaker 9: Study music in the schools like mandatory.

9:53 Speaker 5: They'll teach us ukul lead us. So we have like

9:56 Speaker 5: like you can do whatever instruments you want, but.

9:58 Speaker 4: It's po it's kind of yeah, like they do it

10:03 Speaker 4: very in a universal way, as in like if you

10:06 Speaker 4: want to go out and learn a specific instrument, you

10:07 Speaker 4: go and get lessons outside the school, but like yeah,

10:10 Speaker 4: they'll teach like a more universal way in music class

10:14 Speaker 4: in school like yeah.

10:16 Speaker 6: And just like the youth scene like in Ireland is

10:19 Speaker 6: so good. They have this we have this thing called

10:20 Speaker 6: Music Generation which is funded by you too, and it's

10:23 Speaker 6: like it's just basically like this massive like music organization

10:28 Speaker 6: that helps like young bands. You have artists, they do

10:31 Speaker 6: gigs around like around the country, and like if you

10:34 Speaker 6: need instruments, you can.

10:35 Speaker 5: Go to them and figure out something. Like they're just

10:37 Speaker 5: really good.

10:38 Speaker 6: They have free practice spaces around, like it's just they're

10:40 Speaker 6: really helpfuls class.

10:42 Speaker 2: Oh that's fantastic, exactly, Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely. Now,

10:46 Speaker 2: so what's kind of the I mean, you know, you're

10:49 Speaker 2: you're so young. Do you have a long term plan

10:51 Speaker 2: for this band? Or I mean, is this something that

10:53 Speaker 2: you think you're going to be doing for you know,

10:55 Speaker 2: because you're you're off to a fantastic start, you know, so,

10:59 Speaker 2: I mean, it'd be a shame if I assume you're

11:02 Speaker 2: not gonna tell me no, we're just kind of doing

11:04 Speaker 2: this for fun and we're just gonna you know, I

11:07 Speaker 2: assume there's some sort of long term ambition here, but

11:11 Speaker 2: but maybe not.

11:12 Speaker 1: I'm curious.

11:13 Speaker 4: That's the dream anyways, you kind of kind of always

11:16 Speaker 4: hope that it like we're definitely not going to stop now.

11:19 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely keep going for now, and you kind

11:22 Speaker 3: of kind of just see where it goes. Yeah, it's

11:25 Speaker 3: it's we're definitely not going to stop. Yeah, you just

11:28 Speaker 3: you don't know where take it.

11:30 Speaker 6: I think we all have like like I think we

11:32 Speaker 6: all have like those of those things in our life

11:34 Speaker 6: and like other things that we wanted to But I

11:36 Speaker 6: think the band will.

11:36 Speaker 5: Always be.

11:40 Speaker 4: If we don't make it anywhere big, like you always

11:42 Speaker 4: you'll always be playing on the weekends.

11:43 Speaker 3: You'll always you have for the fun, you know.

11:46 Speaker 2: Yeah, now you've got so these the two the two

11:52 Speaker 2: tracks that you sent us Caught in a Fire and

11:55 Speaker 2: Shattering Knees?

11:56 Speaker 1: Are those?

11:57 Speaker 2: Are those the only two you've recorded so far? Or

11:58 Speaker 2: do you have more or maybe you're working on more?

12:02 Speaker 3: There's yeah, there's more. We have like eight singles out

12:14 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go back and listen to

12:16 Speaker 2: your other tracks on Spotify because I'm very I'm very

12:19 Speaker 2: curious because like I said, I love these, I love these.

12:23 Speaker 3: You'll hear that first one we didn't?

12:24 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not at the dates and make sure.

12:27 Speaker 2: You don't, Okay, gotcha. No, I'm very I'm very curious.

12:33 Speaker 2: Where does the name come from? Moonlight Eclipse? Is there

12:36 Speaker 2: a particular meaning to that?

12:38 Speaker 5: No, we were we were.

12:40 Speaker 6: Pushed to make a name, like I think it took

12:42 Speaker 6: us months to sign the name. We went through about five.

12:44 Speaker 6: We were like over exclosure.

12:47 Speaker 3: Well, actually we're always like a week.

12:49 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna call ourselves Shattering Knees as well. So

12:52 Speaker 5: that's why the song's name shot. Yeah, through a lot

12:56 Speaker 5: of different names.

12:57 Speaker 3: But you see most of them.

12:58 Speaker 4: We we would decide find a name and then realized

13:01 Speaker 4: there was a band that already had that. Really you'd

13:05 Speaker 4: be amazed at, like how many bands are actually obscure names.

13:10 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like every name is taken. Where do you

13:13 Speaker 5: come from?

13:14 Speaker 4: With Moonshine with moonshiny clips?

13:21 Speaker 3: And then we were like, yeah, but that sounds too.

13:23 Speaker 4: Much like moonshine, like the drink, So we were like,

13:28 Speaker 4: let's just change the bits Moonlight because it was it's

13:30 Speaker 4: kind of nice.

13:31 Speaker 1: You know, Oh yeah, yeah, no, I like it. I

13:33 Speaker 1: like it a lot.

13:35 Speaker 5: We do have to say a really weird thing though.

13:37 Speaker 6: We've been like people forget the name of our band

13:39 Speaker 6: a lot, and not like not like people who know

13:42 Speaker 6: each other, but different people in like different places and

13:45 Speaker 6: different venues have called us Midnight Eclipse, but they're not connected.

13:48 Speaker 4: With Moonlight Express, Moonlight Express or Midnight Eclipse.

13:54 Speaker 6: And because they've all comes to this like Sonata one

14:00 Speaker 6: wear that.

14:03 Speaker 2: Oh wow, well that'll uh you know, hopefully in in time,

14:07 Speaker 2: you know, as you as you continue to build a

14:09 Speaker 2: following and build a fan.

14:10 Speaker 1: Base, uh, people will uh will be more accurate with

14:12 Speaker 1: your name. That's funny though, but but yeah, it is.

14:15 Speaker 2: It is hard to find a name that's not already

14:18 Speaker 2: you know, because you one thing you obviously don't want

14:20 Speaker 2: to get into a situation of is when you have

14:22 Speaker 2: a name that uh, you've established and then it turns out,

14:25 Speaker 2: you know, somebody else says, oh no, we were using

14:27 Speaker 2: that first, and then they're threatening you with some sort

14:29 Speaker 2: of legal action or something.

14:31 Speaker 6: So this website where you can put in a bound

14:35 Speaker 6: right and it will tell you no matter how unknown

14:37 Speaker 6: the band.

14:37 Speaker 5: Is, if they are, like anything released, it's taken.

14:41 Speaker 3: That was really yeah, oh.

14:43 Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, that's a good tool to have. Do you

14:45 Speaker 2: remember what the site is? You know, off hand?

14:50 Speaker 3: Before I think it's it's gone now years ago.

14:53 Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, you know, because you.

14:56 Speaker 6: Can just look up the band registration name or something.

15:01 Speaker 3: You come up.

15:03 Speaker 2: Yeah okay, yeah, I was just curious. No, that's uh no,

15:07 Speaker 2: that's very cool. And then have you done any videos

15:09 Speaker 2: for for any of these tracks.

15:10 Speaker 3: Yet not yet. That is definitely something we want to have.

15:16 Speaker 5: A friend of ours, he like makes a lot of

15:18 Speaker 5: short films and he's coming like.

15:20 Speaker 6: Into that have like good quality cameras, and I think

15:23 Speaker 6: he's hoping to make a music video with sometimes.

15:27 Speaker 3: On you.

15:29 Speaker 1: Yeah excellent, excellent.

15:32 Speaker 3: Yeah, So maybe maybe this summer because we'll be free.

16:02 Speaker 4: they're finished with a lot of gigs.

16:05 Speaker 3: Yeah.

16:05 Speaker 6: I also, though I broke my finger two months ago,

16:09 Speaker 6: I've kind of been trying to work around that because

16:11 Speaker 6: I'm not like able to play its hard.

16:13 Speaker 4: Why didn't you tell them how you broke it?

16:16 Speaker 5: It's on a mechanical bull.

16:19 Speaker 1: Really, you.

16:23 Speaker 6: See, we're in transition here and we're going on all

16:25 Speaker 6: these like stupid weird treads around the world and.

16:31 Speaker 1: So what so what happened.

16:32 Speaker 2: Did you get thrown from the mechanical bull and you

16:34 Speaker 2: landed on your hand or something or broke that you.

16:36 Speaker 6: Had to hold onto on the bowl, but the rope

16:38 Speaker 6: like you pull it out and pulled it out, I

16:42 Speaker 6: didn't like continually continuously hold enough force, and my like

16:45 Speaker 6: finger got launched in with the rope.

16:48 Speaker 5: The bulls started going around. I'm just like yeah, And
