Olympus Mons

There will come a time!

About Me


It’s not everyday that the mould of normality is broken and replaced by the new. Likewise trends have to have a beginning.
At first glance you could be forgiven for assuming that Olympus Mons are on surface just another band like all others but then it doesn’t take a trained eye or more importantly, a finely trained ear to pick out that this is not your average continuation of the “rule” it is the defiant exception.
Not different enough to be un-place-able, but not adhering enough to drown in the vast sea of “that sounds like the last band” their unique sound fuses a cross section of genres such as Indie, Rock and Roots, then voices it with subtle jazz chords and progressions finally roofed in by the sometimes desperate, sometimes dramatic and always genuine voice of the lead vocalist.
They were never going to be the band that you had never heard of before you went to bed but can’t avoid in the morning because they were never going to fit the cast of “hype band”. Their strength is in the sound, the performance, the songs and the honesty. It’s not about the "he said, she said”, it’s about the “he saw, he said”, it’s about what is real and as we said before “trends have to start somewhere”
Welcome to the land of Mons!
