about

"Hey that new Moths tune is KILLER. Tilt A Whirl I love it!" - Sal Baglio

"The Gypsy Moths explore retro coolness of a slightly different kind on ‘Tilt-A-Whirl’ when their combo of jangling guitars and horns mixes garage rock chops with a distant soul influence. The narrative drive and natural tones aren’t always a million miles away from Brinsley Schwartz and early Nick Lowe, and the brass sounds like a flat approximation of early Dexys, but combined, those key elements create a sound which this Boston band makes fly." - Real Gone

"The Gypsy Moths have a real nostalgic number in “Tilt-A-Whirl” which is about a ride at Paragon Park in Nantasket Beach back in the day. It’s has a horn arrangement working all the way through to bring home the good time vibes." - Boston Groupie News

"Classic Gypsy Moths-stellar musicianship, and detailed nostalgic writing. The song is so uplifting. I hear influences of The Beach Boys, Oasis and local star Richie Parsons. Great song and my favorite lyric “I tried to kiss you on the Ferris wheel for real”… these lads are the finest wine in Boston - they just keep getting better!" - Jerry Lehane

"Awesome!! Brings back old memories!" - Eddie Barese, SCMF

"The Dogs highly recommend these young men, always 100%, great musicianship and stellar songwriting. Don't miss them!" - The Dogmatics

Just in time for your summer soundtracks, our new single "Tilt-A-Whirl"! A little love letter to whiling away those days and nights at spots like Paragon Park and Nantasket Beach, all pure bliss and anticipation. "I only dream to hold you closer/on a shaky wooden roller coaster."

Garage soul shakers from Boston, MA, rolling out floor fillers since 2014 return with a brand new single pouring on tap from their forthcoming full length release due out August 2023. Proud members of the Rum Bar Records family of artists!
