Moonraker is celebrating the one year anniversary of their 2022 full-length, The Forest, with a celebratory round of Whirlyball -- caught on film for all to see in a new video from the southern California punk band for "I Really Wanted To," off of The Forest.
While much of the content on the record is rather heavy in subject matter, the band clearly knows how to let loose too -- even if they don't take losing well.
The band adds:
In honor of our record The Forest being out for a year, we thought it'd be fun to go to Texas and play the sport of kings: Whirlyball. Anytime we go through Fort Worth (or Chicago. I also believe they have it in Atlanta and Seattle) we try to get in a quick sesh and we always wanted to bring a camera crew with us to capture the chaos. We thought it fit well with our song, "I Really Wanted To" and the result was one of the most fun crazy weekends we've had in recent memory. Thanks to Matt and Hot Katsu Video for killing it as always and HUGE thanks to Snowy and everyone at the Whirlyball place for being so cool and letting us go so long and bring in all sorts of outside food and booze and ninja weapons and all that. And thanks to all of you for making the last year with The Forest so special!
The Forest was jointly released via Tiny Dragon Music / Bearded Punk Records / Bypolar Records / No Time Records.
