Biography
MONOTRONE are a new formation from Basel. The four band members are all familiar faces with an impressive musical history spanning up to three decades. In one constellation or another, the four have already worked together before and shared the stages across Europe with greats like ICE-T, PERRY FARRELL, MANIC STREET PREACHERS, DISTURBED or even ERIC CLAPTON and BOB GELDOF. The four key figures of the Swiss rock scene decided in 2019 to join forces as MONOTRONE. The result is their first album with the simple name «1». A grueling process of songwriting resulted in a collection of ten songs that take the listener on an exciting musical trip and combine different sounds and styles. The album was recorded and mixed at Little Creek Studios with longtime mutual friend and former bandmate V.O. Powder on the controls. Philippe Strübin's brilliant voice, combined with Thomas Baumgartner's guitar witchcraft, driven by Fran Lorkovic's creative drumming and pumped up by Franky Kalwie's strong bass, together result in a fantastic and very versatile rock album. The kaleidoscope of grooves and styles ranges from hard rock, metal and grunge to pop, funk and even disco elements. Listen up!
