moondoggy

moondoggy is a Toronto-based five-piece indie rock band formed in Collingwood, Ontario, in 2019. The band features brothers Jakob Matanowitsch (vocals) and Ben Matanowitsch (saxophone/acoustic guitar), alongside Jonny Contini (lead guitar) and Victor Carrillo (drums), creating a DIY indie sound that draws from Mac DeMarco, Pink Floyd, and classic rock. With over 435,000 monthly Spotify listeners and hits like "Long Nights" (6.5 million plays) and "Passport" (3.2 million plays), moondoggy has grown from a small-town project into one of the most promising acts in Canadian indie rock. Their debut album "Mad and Noisy" (2023) delivers a raw sound held together by careful arrangement and emotionally honest songwriting.
