Habitat Noise is a Savannah,GA based rock band that combines the powerful sounds of the 90's with a new rock edge. The sound-scape involves driving guitars with melodic backing guitars, powerful verse vocals with energetic choruses.....and the beat.....oh that beat and driving bass rounds it out very nice.

Singer songrwriter, Donald Moats, has been in the music scene for over 8 years, but as a drummer/songwriter. He started in 2003 with Electric Love Jelly... in Savannah. Donald met Chris Horton, current guitarist, and they began writing songs. As always, something happened to the group and Chris and Donald formed The Reply with Electric Love Jelly guitarist, Jerod Singelton, and Chris Nelson, current drummer for Habitat Noise, on bass. The band was slow to take off. Donald committed to move to L.A. to try out the music scene, so The Reply found another drummer and continued on for a couple years.

Donald started his own project, Minds Never Sleep, and began his quest on studio recording. Donald remained behind the drums for the next few years as Minds Never Sleep toured around southern California mostly playing the L.A. clubs like The Whisky and The Viper Room. The band broke up and out of the break Donald continued on to form Shot by Daylight. Basically the same things kept happening over and over.....the band would get some good material going, but there were always fall outs with the singer.

After 4 years in L.A., Donald moved back to Savannah with the goal of opening his own recording studio, which is now Habitat Noise Studios Inc., a non-profit studio geared towards independent artists. While in Savannah, he reunited with Chris Horton and Chris Nelson and they played some tunes under the name "Symbol of the Storm". Chris Horton needed a music break and took some time off from the music scene, so Donald began writing for his first solo project in which he would front the band, Habitat Noise. After 6 months of writing he had 8 songs ready to record. Donald played all the instruments as well as produced and recorded the current EP ,2010, in his studio on Whitemarsh Island in Savannah, GA. He chose his favorite 4 songs and produced them and pressed the CD.

Habitat Noise is now promoting live shows and getting ready for the road. The first show will be July 17th at the Jinx in Savannah, Ga.
