Marisa and The Moths
LIVE – STUDIO 3, ABBEY ROAD LP // 04 JULY
NEEDY // FIRST SINGLE // 02 MAY
In celebration of the one year anniversary of their second album What Doesn’t Kill You, which reached #1 on the Official UK Rock and Metal album chart, MARISA AND THE MOTHS have announced that Needy, the first single from their forthcoming Live – Studio 3, Abbey Road LP, will be released on 2 May.
Speaking about the album, Marisa says:
“This really was a ‘pinch me’ moment to get to record in such an amazing studio where so many of our heroes have created classic albums. It’s definitely one ticked off our musical bucket list!”
The album will be released on 4 July as a download and limited edition colour vinyl and CD of the full live session, printed only once, and featuring a mix of songs from both of their studio albums alongside exclusive tour recordings only available on physical copies. Thanks to their dedicated fanbase, the band raised the entire budget through crowdfunding within 24 hours, even before announcing it on social media, and the campaign exceeded its stretch target in under four days.
The original studio day was also funded by a small group of the band’s most devoted fans, including Martin Hopkins, who sadly passed away from a brief illness shortly afterwards. The album is dedicated to his memory, not only as a fan but as a close friend to the band and their community.

Needy will be the first single to be released from the album on 2 May on all digital platforms to mark the one year anniversary of What Doesn’t Kill You – which is fitting as Needy is also the opening track from the band’s self-titled debut album.
Speaking about the single, Marisa says:
“We often open or close our live sets with Needy, as it’s become a real fan favourite that everyone sings along to. It’s also great to show how our sound has evolved since solidifying our line up and to showcase the rawer, heavier sound that people say we have live.”

Marisa and The Moths have been turning heads with their unique alternative rock sound and powerhouse female vocals for several years now. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2019 and was followed last year by What Doesn’t Kill You, described by fans as akin to a deep therapy session that you want to sing along with at the top of your lungs.
Both albums received ecstatic reviews from the likes of Metal Hammer, Kerrang! and Classic Rock and national radio plays from BBC Introducing Rock on Radio 1, the BBC Radio 2 Rock Show, Planet Rock, Total Rock, Kerrang! Fresh Blood and Primordial Radio. The band also recently recorded a live session of songs from both albums at the iconic Abbey Road Studios which will be released early this year.
Marisa’s vocals examine subjects such as mental health, toxic relationships, trauma and sexuality, resonating deeply with her fellow misfits and anyone that has ever had to deal with similar hardships. Marisa also features on the new Sophie Lloyd album Imposter Syndrome, which was nominated for Best Breakthrough album at the Heavy Music Awards 2024. Their collaboration single Won’t You Come was released last year alongside other singles featuring Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Chris Robertson (Black Stone Cherry), Matt Heafy (Trivium) and Michael Starr (Steel Panther).
With several headline tours under their belt, support slots with artists such as the Kris Barras Band, Those Damn Crows, Von Hertzen Brothers, As December Falls and Elvana, and appearances at Planet Rockstock and 2000 Trees festivals, the band continue to redefine the rock genre with electrifying and unforgettable performances.
