The Mooney Suzuki

The Mooney Suzuki, known for their energetic presence in the downtown New York music scene, gained significant attention in the late 1990s with two independently released albums. Their breakthrough came in 2002 when they signed with Spirit Music and released the critically acclaimed *Electric Sweat*. The album’s success led to a series of high-profile media placements, propelling the band into the mainstream.

One of their most notable achievements was having their song serve as the theme for the hit film *School of Rock* alongside feature placements in popular TV shows like *One Tree Hill* and *Smallville*. The band also made their mark in the gaming world, with their music featured in the *Madden 2005* video game. Commercial campaigns for brands like Nike, Poland Spring, and Suzuki Motors also highlighted the widespread appeal of their sound.

The Mooney Suzuki’s success was a testament to their ability to merge raw rock energy with mainstream appeal, earning them significant placements across multiple media platforms. Their impact continued to grow as Spirit Music began pitching their latest album, *Have Mercy*, for various synch opportunities.

With a new generation of fans discovering their music through television, film, and advertising, The Mooney Suzuki’s legacy continues to resonate. Their music remains a dynamic force in both the rock scene and beyond, as they find new ways to connect with listeners in the ever-evolving landscape of media.
