It begins with an idea; intricate and profound musical arrangements combined with resounding words which vocalize the truths and frustrations of the world today. Although only playing together for a short period of time, SOMA has already mastered the technique of integrating together thought provoking lyrics with emotionally infused tunes. Innovatively, this three-piece band is putting soul back into rock.
Producing meaningful melodies on his guitar, front man Michael Monzon passionately heads the band with his unique, aggressive, engaging voice and undeniable skills at working the frets. Complementing the rock guitar sounds, bassist Toba Warkentin seduces your entire being with his sexy, deep, rhythmic groove. Pulling it all together and giving SOMA their heavy rock vibe is the amazingly talented drummer Phil Villa who uses the art of sound to bang out intense beats.
Together these guys are forcefully bringing back the purity of rock amidst all the manufactured new-, glam-, punk- and pop-rock that is saturating the market today. SOMA is continuing in the rock tradition by defying musical barriers and drawing strength from international musical influences; a trait that has them developing an ever growing loyal fan base.
SOMA is easily going to be one of the few rock bands to dominate the music industry, while also influencing everything from film to fashion to social structures and political views. In the past, rock had revolutionary bands such as The Beatles, The Led Zeppelin, and Guns n Roses. Our new era now has its own: SOMA.
They are the next evolution of Rock.
Live SOMA
