MARTYR DE MONA are a hard rock outfit with an impressive catalogue of kick ass original material.Since the birth of MDM in November 2006, the band have gone from strength to strength beginning with the recording of their first demo's in June 2007. Both Eva and Dementia on the playlist were recorded during these sessions.The band has cemented its growing reputation and popularity with a series of impressive live shows across the Midlands and their hard work was rewarded on 4th December when they were crowned Live Band Of The Year 2007 Competition Winners!In February 2008 the band were lucky enough to find the amazingly talented Jay Miles who joined on drums!MARTYR DE MONA are now working on new material and this year will see them enter the studio to record their debut album which promises to take some teeth out, watch this space........
