Bionic Buzz® interviewed Good Night Moon members JB Corey (vocals) and Rob Clark (drums), diving into the band’s roots, reunion, and new music. During our conversation, JB and Rob shared where their passion for music first came from, reflected on the influence of the 2000s pop-punk and emo scene, and explained what ultimately led to Good Night Moon reuniting. 

They also discussed revisiting and re-recording their earlier songs, how their sound has evolved over time, and what fans can expect from the release of their latest EP.

Blending emo, post-hardcore, and pop-punk influences, Good Night Moon’s return captures both the nostalgia of their early years and a renewed creative energy shaped by experience, growth, and a deeper appreciation for the scene that helped define them.

About Good Night Moon:

Two decades after their rise through Florida’s early 2000s music scene, Good Night Moon has returned with a fully re-recorded version of their original record, available soon on all music streaming platforms. The 5 song EP captures the nostalgic energy and emotional depth that defined an era of grassroots post hardcore and emo music revitalized for a new generation.

Good Night Moon became a staple of Florida’s independent music circuit, performing regularly at iconic venues such as Ray’s Downtown Blues, Spanky’s, Swamp Grass Willies, and The Orange Door. The band’s early shows provided a welcoming space for local youth, an alternative to traditional weekend parties and football games and quickly evolved into a regional following.

As the group matured, Good Night Moon earned opportunities to open for iconic bands including Bayside and Hellogoodbye, eventually headlining their own shows and performing at major festivals alongside Taking Back Sunday and My Chemical Romance. Their journey later took them through the Orlando bar circuit venues like Pounders, Scoop, and Knight Library before ultimately disbanding in 2009.

“Revisiting these songs after two decades has been surreal,” said the band. “They’ve been melodies stuck in our heads for 20 years — to finally bring them back to life and share them with our fans friends and families has been a full-circle experience.”

The re-recording process remained true to the band’s Florida roots, reuniting longtime collaborators and friends. The project was produced alongside Matt Marino (Fame on Fire, MGK) and Ian Marchionda (Suck Brick Kid, Superbloom), mixed by Aaron Marsh (Copeland), and mastered by Jonathan Berlin (Underoath, Anberlin).

In addition to to the EP, Good Night Moon has also recently announced their first live shows in over a decade. The band will return to their roots with performances at Swampgrass Willie’s (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) on April 17th and Will’s Pub (Orlando, FL) on April 18th. Both shows will feature special guests Five Cent Wish and Northvale.
