INTRODUCING NYC’S MONOBLOC
SHARE DEBUT SINGLE “WHERE IS MY GARDEN”
WATCH HERE
NYC’s Monobloc might just have it all, already. And anything else is surely within their reach.
Today they share their debut single proper in “Where Is My Garden” paired to a monochrome video self-directed by the band. Replete with wiry, insistent guitar work and an anthemic, rousing chorus, the song marks the arrival of a new band with a significant future.
“Where Is My Garden” see’s the band as early cover stars, with a lead feature in DORK Magazine, as well as early coverage in Rolling Stone UK (The spiky, urgent track shows that Monobloc could next in line to become one of the Big Apple’s great bands, with its official release coming after excited internet chatter about the group emerged earlier this year.)
LISTEN HERE
Soaring out of the underground of New York City’s booming DIY scene, Monobloc, helmed by vocalist Timothy Waldron and Michael Silverglade on bass, is an exciting new project formed by two friends with a shared ear for merging pop sensibilities, with a distinctly metropolis post-punk attitude.
Completed by Zack Pockrose on drums, and guitarists Ben Scofield and Nina Lüders, Monobloc’s strengths lie in their innate gift of storytelling; pairing texturally rich, visceral and emotional detail, with a minimalist instrumentation that sits as confidently alongside some of NYCs artistic greats, as it does in its own lane entirely.
With a thriving live reputation across the US, Monobloc make their UK festival debut this August at London’s All Points East in support of LCD Soundsystem, with a warm-up show planned a couple of days before at the capital’s Sebright Arms. They’ll also make a first trip to the EU to perform at Rock En Seine and Kalorama Festival later that month.
Later in the year, they fly to Reykjavik for Iceland Airwaves and then onto Mexico for Corona Capital, where their debut single ‘I’m Just Trying To Love You’ was used as the festival’s official soundtrack.
