October 2, 2024: Today “Western Space Grunge” pioneers Dexter and The Moonrocks released “Like You (Like You),” their first new track since the release of their EP this summer. A lyric video for the song is here.
The track comes ahead of their inaugural Austin City Limits Festival performance this Friday, October 4 on the BMI Stage at 5:10 PM.
Dexter and The Moonrocks’ “Sad in Carolina” is currently sitting in the top 10 at alternative radio, with an add from LA’s KROQ coming in last week. The song is their radio debut from their first EP, “Western Space Grunge,” on Severance Records/Big Loud Rock.
According to Alternative Press, Dexter and The Moonrocks “shorten the distance between grunge, space rock and country.” The band has won over rock and country fans alike, with Raised Rowdy declaring, “‘Western Space Grunge’ is a great collection of heaters with the quality we have grown to expect from the group. The fuzzy, energetic guitars, booming rhythm section and perfect mix of melancholy and angst that Dexter and The Moonrocks have made their own by now is ever present on this EP and better than ever.”
Following Austin City Limits Festival, the band will tour through the end of the year, ending with an East Coast run dubbed “Eastern Space Grunge.” All dates are listed below.

A fry cook, an oil field operator, a concrete surface decorator and a kids’ baseball coach met up in West Texas and morphed a formerly country/western band into a flavor of alt rock only possible from small town Texas. Dexter and The Moonrocks make Western Space Grunge music, and their specific niche of “sad cowboy songs” has struck a nerve: in just two short years, Dexter and The Moonrocks gained more than 50 million streams and nearly 700,000 followers on TikTok.
That rise led to Severance Records, an imprint of Big Loud Rock, naming the band as their inaugural signing.
