Brum Rising: She Creates

Beltane Moon are a six-piece band from the Midlands, channeling the raw energy of vintage rock through a lens of modern-day mysticism. Our sound blends dreamy textures and driving guitar riffs with a theatrical edge that feels like a wave of nostalgia. With roots in the golden age of rock and a love for the dramatic and the otherworldly, we create music that feels like stepping into a spell—equal parts power and poetry. It's all about emotion, atmosphere, and a little bit of magic.
