Description
Cancer Moon was one of the most important alternative/indie rock bands in Spain in the 90's. The group was founded in Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain) in 1988. As a group they did not officially disband, but in 1996 they ceased their public activity.
The group produced a sound between noise rock and alternative rock, which in those 90s began to emerge in Spain with groups like Los Bichos, Surfin' Bichos, 713avo Amor or The Pantano Boas. They are considered one of the founding groups of noise-rock in Spain. Cancer Moon handled among their influences groups like The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youthor Television.
They published three albums, each one on a different label due to their problems in finding a record company in which they fit: "Hunted By The Snake" (Polar, 1990), "Flock, Colibri, Oil" (Munster, 1992) and "Moor rooM" (Radiation, 1994). The latter was chosen as the best national album of the year by the leading music magazineRockdelux.
