MONZA
German texts? Check. German rock? Of course not. Noise? Lots of it. Noise rock?
Not really. Skirt? Of course. Without any irony. Post anything? Certainly. Just
different. Just like MONZA.

Is the world collapsing right now? At least the basic feeling is there that something is happening
goes really wrong. There is a fundamental discomfort with and from this feeling
MONZA formed an album out of this. The story of a not so distant one
Future in which it really goes down the drain. And in a black hole too
Star mush is ground. Songs in which there is booming, rustling, beeping, rounded off by
tricky texts. Title? “The day that mountains grew out of the sky”. How else.

MONZA were founded in Munich in 2012. The Bavarian capital of all places, not
especially the center of hard sounds or even a Mecca for rock and underground. But maybe
this is precisely why MONZA are so difficult to grasp. The trio is pursuing the plan, with as much as possible
to develop maximum soundscapes with a small cast. No German rock, no dismay
Pop, no punk rock and also the comparisons to the small Stuttgart scene fail mercilessly.

A first demo appeared in the founding year under the name “Patient Null”, the first single
“Machines with eyes” followed in 2013 and combined the typical elements for the first time: noisy
Arrangements, sound games and German texts. The EP “Ikarus” (2015) brought this
Coordinates to the point, but was still looking. Now you have arrived. The
Album is a monolith, a statement, a loner. “The end, machine god, it keeps us
nothing more on ... "

“BUT AMONG THESE FEELINGS THAT BELONG TO THE GOOD SOUND IN PUNK AND HARDCORE, IS INCLUDED
MONZA A FINE BALANCING BETWEEN MELODIC AND CRACK, AND BETWEEN ROCKING ROCK
RHYTHMICS AND MACHINE SAMPLE AESTHETICS. "(SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG)
