Why General Luna?

---

When the group was asked the reason why do they call their band as General Luna? Nicole (the lead vocalist) said, "It has nothing to do with General Antonio Luna." It is just a combination of the two words: General (a masculine), and Luna (a feminine). There's a balance of the 2 concepts. They describe their music as a combination of 2 different concepts. Like their music single, "Red Heaven", - a mixture of loud guitar riffs and catchy melodic verses, that expresses the stomach-churning experience of a nightmare.
