About Me

First on the moon They're not your little sister's band!

New York City based band FIRST ON THE MOON has shot to the top of the rising NY teen band scene. Though they are teenagers, the band’s songs are written & performed as well as any “grown up” band.
Started by Layne Montgomery, lead singer & guitarist, he wanted to work in a band composed of his closest friends. Max Miller, lead guitarist, Layne’s downstairs neighbor quickly joined. Followed by schoolmate Daniel Ojeda on drums. The band was complete when Layne’s dad Todd joined as the bass player.
FIRST ON THE MOON’S style of music is garage rock with a pop twist. The band’s major influences are THE WHITE STRIPES, THE STROKES, MOONEY SUZUKI and of course THE BEATLES. With their first single THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID about to be released, FIRST ON THE MOON is set to take the music world by storm.
