Bio
Monocle Rose are from London: two girls, two boys and a lot of noise. Rock 'n' roll riffs and dark sultry lyrics clash with bubblegum melodies and pop candy choruses. Dynamic and uncompromising they play raw, chaotic shows; they grab gig-goers by the scruff of the neck and shake them back to life. Who says there aren't any stars anymore? While other bands pose and preen in black and white, Monocle Rose sparkle with colourful energy and a firey ambition burning in their bellies. .. "Regret-fuelled tales of late nights, love and London set to stripped garage guitars and lolling, post-punk bass, it's enough to move the most bitter of indie hearts" - London Tourdates magazine ..

REVIEWS:.... "Catchy as fuck. Raw, fuzzy guitar progressions provide a suitably Blondie-esque backing for Rosa's seductive, sassy vocal melodies for what is a snappy little anthem of sing-along brilliance. Great stuff" - ....Black Velvet magazine .. .. "Femme-fronted London four piece, Monocle Rose, wear their influences on their sleeves. Reminiscent of some of the best bands thrown up by the nineties: top form Elastica (if they’d invented the bass lines themselves) meets Comet Gain at their most serrated, Monocle Rose do back-street, post-punk to a tee. Regret fuelled tales of late nights, love and London set to stripped, garage guitars and lolling, post-punk bass, it’s enough to move the most bitter of indie hearts.".. - ..LONDON TOURDATES.... Harking back to the heady days of Echobelly and Sleeper with a Britpop sound layered in honeyed-harmonies, Monocle Rose's single 'Alley Cat' is an instant hit... The closest comparison for this band has to be the all-girl group Tuuli, a they are the only band to have delivered vocal-harmonies like this band do. The difference is that Monocle Rose have a rawness that's incredibly endearing. This is a great single..... ..THE MAG.... ...... .. ...... .. ...... .. ...... .. Rosa - Vox. Richey - Guitar.
