Terrestrials are back! Releasing their first music in 3 years with 00's Alt Rock inspired lead single “Many Moons”. This is the first release with newest member Ben Benton on drums..
“Many Moons” explores how the fear of failure can become all-consuming, preventing us from stepping outside our comfort zones and trying new things. It serves as a reminder that failure is a healthy and necessary part of growth not always a permanent outcome, but often an opportunity to learn, experiment, and discover who we truly are.
