Monocle Rose

"Rock/Punk/Britpop"

Two girls, two boys and a lot of noise. Bubblegum melodies and candy pop choruses clash with rock 'n' roll riffs and dark sultry lyrics. Dynamic and uncompromising, their raw punk performances grab you and shake you back to life!

"Monocle Rose are about opposites; every squealing guitar line matched with nonchalant vocal hooks, every raw anomaly with a tidy confidence, and squeaky-clean pop vocals twinned with all the unrefined grit of a garage band. With a fierce live reputation to boot, and an ambition to overhaul British music, Monocle Rose look set to become a force to be reckoned with in London’s list of upcoming acts." The Playground
