In honour of this week’s Track of the Week, Kayte had a chat with Martina Moon of Martina and the Moons about their song 'Laundry Mat.'
Dublin-based all-female four-piece rock band Martina and the Moons return with their striking new single ‘Laundry Mat.' The newly launched Irish artist development label from Grammy Award-winning producer and mix engineer Ruadhri Cushnan and music industry veteran and 2025 Dublin Entrepreneur of the Year, Shea McNelis.
‘Laundry Mat’ is a hooky, guitar-driven track that captures the band’s live energy and unflinching lyricism, while inviting listeners to connect on a deeply personal level.
Fronted by Scotland-born, Spanish-raised Martina Moon (vocals/songwriting), the band also features Sarah Morgan (guitar), Ruby Levins (bass) and Zahira Ellis (drums), bringing a fresh urgency to Dublin’s indie scene.
Influenced by Britpop and 90s alt-rock icons (Elastica, Catatonia, Blur) and classic singer-songwriters (Paul Simon, Carole King, Joni Mitchell), the band have carved out a sound that blends guitar-driven hooks with unflinching lyrical honesty. ‘Laundry Mat’ is an anthemic, up-tempo track capturing both the band’s electrifying live energy and their sharp, observant songwriting.
With its blend of introspection, urgency and Britpop energy, ‘Laundry Mat’ promises to be Martina and the Moons’ boldest statement yet.
