‘Turbulent Hearts: All Out’ Pressed in Smoke and Blood

From the gutter to the stars, Suzi Moon, our platinum-haired punk priestess, is back—and All Out. In a world where the spotlight flickers like a neon sign on the fritz, there are flameouts, flash-in-the-pans and complicated sellouts. But every now and then, a real-deal rock & roll lifer steps up, plugs in, and plays like it’s the last night on Earth. Enter: Turbulent Hearts: All Out, a dynamite double LP that doesn’t just sing, it howls.

Miss Suzi Moon, who first cut her teeth on the punk scene in the Long Beach firebrand outfit Civet (alongside her older sister Liza Graves), ain’t new to this rodeo. With a scream in her throat and a six-string in hand, she stepped up to the center stage with Turbulent Hearts in 2014. She’d been writing her own songs since the age of 13, and she was ready. Now the outfit, thanks to this 20-track resurrection, gets its final, furious say.

And oh, what a say it is!

Turbulent Hearts: All Out is no mere reissue — it’s a resurrection.

Wrapped in the luscious, smoke-stained vinyl dreams only Pirates Press Records could conjure—milky clear with black smoke for Side A/B, blood red with black smoke for C/DTurbulent Hearts: All Out is the kind of record that doesn’t collect dust, it stirs it up. It’s not just an album. It’s an epitaph, an origin story, and a flaming love letter to the lost art of playing like you mean it.

Collected for the first time on wax, this blistering anthology corrals all four EPs (and a few tasty extras) from the Turbulent Hearts’ barnstorming run through the mid-to-late 2010s. As tight as a snare crack and twice as mean — the title ain’t lying.

With bassist Mark Johnson and drummer Jay Skowronek riding shotgun, Suzi laid down the soundtrack to an era too fast to last and too loud to forget. Four EPs—polished to perfection by none other than punk production icon Mass Giorgini—have been gathered, remastered, and repackaged for your listening pleasure. The songs have never sounded this alive, this dangerous, this ready.

Miss Moon herself says it best: “This was such a prolific songwriting period for me. I really found my voice with this band, and I could have never done the Suzi Moon band if I hadn’t done my time with the Turbulent Hearts.”

This isn’t nostalgia. This is gasoline. And every track is a lit match. From the backroom dives of Southern California to international stages, the Turbulent Hearts weren’t chasing stardom—they were chasing sweat, sparks, and the sacred art of screaming into the void with your best friends beside you. Suzi remembers: “We said yes to every show we got offered. It wasn’t about getting famous… it was about playing as fast and ferociously as possible, on a fun show with our friends’ bands.”

How many artists can say they had the guts to go all out, every night, for no reason but the love of the noise? Suzi Moon can, Turbulent Hearts did. And now, so can you. Whether you were there in the front row with a ripped tee and ringing ears or you’re discovering the magic for the first time, Turbulent Hearts: All Out is your backstage pass to a time when rock & roll still had fangs.

Available NOW, wherever records are sold—but only if you’re cool enough to still buy vinyl. Remember, darling, wax is back.
