Martina and the Moons Releases New Song “Laundry Mat”
Dublin-based all-female alt-rock band Martina and the Moons, consisting of Martina Moon (vocals/guitar), Sarah Morgan (guitar), Ruby Levins (bass) and Zahira Ellis (drums), released a new song “Laundry Mat” on October 1, 2025.
The song is the follow-up to “Baby Turtle”, which was released back in May.
It is an anthemic, up-tempo track capturing both the band’s electrifying live energy and their sharp, observant songwriting.
The track was written by Martina McHugh Téllez. The band recorded it with producers Ruadhri Cushnan and Elise Molléat at Camden Recording Studios in Dublin, Ireland.
The band lead singer Martina Moon said of the song, “The song was born out of frustration and alienation while doing something as mundane as my laundry. That morning, I’d read about a domestic violence murder in my hometown. I remember standing there, staring at the washing machine, thinking about the absurdity of just carrying on. ‘Laundry Mat’ is about that sense of urgency and helplessness – a call to stop sleepwalking through life.”- She continued, “We had been playing the song live for over two years, and it was a challenge to translate the loudness and emotion present in these performances to the recorded version. We had attempted to do it before but were unsuccessful. This time around, we were all in the room together, which helped immensely.”
