About Me

“Their songwriting is top notch. Their energy & passion creates a strong delivery.”
- Soul Purpose Magazine (Nov 07)
When Christchurch, NZ quintet Mona Vale Falls decided to go into hibernation mid 2008 to further evolve their Post Hardcore/Rock sound they knew the risks that would come from vacating a live scene where they’ve made themselves known. But they plan on stretching themselves aiming to add an unbridled passion to their new songs & live show. Now their focus is on what lays ahead… Including a new album.
Since the release of their debut EP “A Reference Away, A Departure Towards” (Dec 07) Mona Vale Falls have been working hard to connect with as many people as possible worldwide. With numerous shows already under their belt across NZ in 2008 (including Parachute Festival & a mini North Island tour) they are well on the way to achieving that.
What began as a study project mid 2005 had surprised everyone by year’s end. The momentum came to a complete stop in 2006 when 3 members took personal leave; 2 members later left the band.
When Mona Vale Falls returned to the stage in Dec 06 with a new line-up & a handful of new songs they surprised everyone a second time. Their Post Hardcore/Rock sound was now equally packaged with a new intensity to their live show. They built upon this live reputation by releasing a limited edition single “Loveless Vs Red Alert” (March 07) that paved the way for the release of “A Reference Away, A Departure Towards” (Dec 07) across NZ & the world (online).
Who knows what kind of reaction the new material will garner when they return from their hibernation but with a renewed focus and determined work ethic Mona Vale Falls will not be the same band you knew when they locked themselves away… Are you going to be a part of it?
