MONOGROOVE is a four piece band that hails from Crescent, California. They are a great pop alternative band with great popish songs that will surely grow on you.
The band is: RIN LENNON-Guitar, vocals; MICHAEL GEORGE-Guitar, vocals; ALIAS WILDE-Bass and JAY SMITH-Drums. This 14 song CD was Produced and Engineered by Steve Refling.
MODERN DAY ROMEO starts off this CD with a super great song with epic harmonies and a melody that is unforgettable. The band sure has the feel of The Knack or The Wonders. Check this song out.
STEPPING STONE is their rendition of The Monkees song that is filled with super hyper energy. They really take this song to a whole new level. WOW! Check it out. LET ME KNOW has a whole different feel in this song as once again has great harmonies and superb melody. I must admit, it reminds me of the early Kinks a bit. I like this song a lot.
DIRTY DOGS is a bit choppy with the guitar riffs as the band keeps things all together as tight as ever. I believe when they do songs like this, it shows that this band can play anything. WON'T WALK AWAY is a slow paced love song with sweet lyrics that sends a message to whom loud and clear. This song , definitely, has a Beatles feel with a John Lennon reflection in this song. I love it.
MINE ALL MINE has a super pop feel as the lyrics are only again very strong as the guitars are straightforward and solid on every note. This song rocks to the end. ONE TIN SOLDIER brings this epic album to an end with them doing a cover of THE COVENS song. Remember the movie, "BlLLY JACK'? This band is one to watch for in the very near future. The band is on Kool Kat Records/ Tap Tunes Records [Simultaneously!] I'd like to THANK RIN LENNON for being in touch. You can find the band at: Bandcamp, You tube, Deezer, Spotify, Deezer, Reverbnation and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
