With Monsters and Gods' is The Hillbilly Moon Explosion's 2016 album and is certainly one of their their best. Who knew that rock'n'roll could still be so exhilarating... and musically diverse? A half-English 4-piece hidden away in the unlikely habitat of Switzerland, they've honed their craft without distraction for many years.

More recently they issued an album 'The Sparky Sessions'. Album Tracks 1. Desperation 2. With Monsters and Gods 3. Love You Better 4. Black Ghost 5. Heartbreak Boogie 6. Call Me 7. You Miss S
