Munroe Effect (NEW DATES UP)

Hercules Vs the moon men

About Me

ROCKSOUND:

"Reminiscent of early Fightstar & Funeral For A Friend, this quartet show plenty of promise...keep an eye out for this lot!"

EDDY TEMPLE-MORRIS, XFM / Coke Music Podcast:

"blistering stuff!..."

FUTURE OF THE LEFT - rock sound single review feb 08:

"...The choruses are big and considered. Reminds me of a band called King's X, an band with tricksy time signatures and harmonies..."

SUBBA-CULTCHA.COM:

"There's a rich blend of ideas in Munroe Effect's music and a progressive architecture of the songs...fierce attacks from amped guitars and howling vocals with mellow indie rock passages & quirky jazz interludes."

THE FLY:

"an impulsive edge to their song writing, full of restrained experimentation, emotive vistas and rythmic/melodic variation..."

RIDDLER ZINE:

"Uncompromised, intricate layers of noise that fit together like a jigsaw..."

PUSH TO FIRE:

"What marks out Munroe Effect amongst their brothers and sisters is their ability to have crunching riffs with twisting melodies, screams working over foundations of solid pop-indie songwriting, with every juxtaposition and twist sounding absolutely seamless...."

AMPED REVIEWS:

"superbly catchy and thunderous tracks...."

Heaven or Las Vegas:

"plenty of subtlety and consideration present in this loud-quiet dynamic ...."


munroe effect refers to the focusing of blast energy from an explosive, concentrating the explosion and creating a much more powerful result.. it also refers to a progressive, schizophrenic rock band based in Portsmouth, UK.

although the name was chosen by pure co-incidence, its meaning turns out to bear some relevance - the band's live performance tears through your defenses with a relentless agression delivered by an onslaught of jagged guitars, and a rhythm section based on a battering ram.. however, once positioned in the center of your attention, emotionally-loaded passages of epic noise and abrupt jazz interludes will spread through your body and secure them in your consciousness on a permanent basis.

it's this sound that led the band to the ears of London-based indie label function records in September 2007... their debut offering is double a-side "who's throwing rocks / subterranean death clash", out February 11th 2008 on limited-edition 7" vinyl and digital download.

combined with several tours planned for next year and a constantly-evolving sound coming from the rehearsal studio, 2008 is set to be an exciting year for munroe effect and anybody who's exposed to them along the way.
