The Soft Moon is a San Francisco based neo Post-Punk band composed of Luis Vasquez (singer/songwriter/guitar/synthesizers), Justin Anastasi (bass), Damon Way (drum machines/synthesizers), and Ron Robinson (visuals). As purveyors of the emerging Post-Apocalyptic sound,[1] The Soft Moon has taken cues from early Synthpunk/Post-Punk bands such as Chrome, Suicide, Danse Society, and The Units.
