- About Me
- The Monastics are an alt-rock/ punk trio from Little Rock, Arkansas. This is a band that isn’t out to change the world; they simply want to make emotionally honest music.
Fans of bands like Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Descendents, Fugazi and Black Flag will like the Monastics. Fans of blatant emotional honesty and purity in art will LOVE them. While using various music and lyrical dynamics to make their sound interesting, the fact that The Monastics give 150 percent and lay themselves bare during their all of their performances and it resonates with fans both old and new. Alt-rock, punk, melodic hardcore, post-hardcore… call it what you will but this band is more than any one genre or category can explain.
The Monastics shine with dead-on, commanding lead vocals, sincere lyrics, smooth bass lines and hard-driving drums. They have rocked the stages of venues such as the Rev Room, Stickyz, Vino’s, Juanita’s and Sound Stage playing with such popular acts as QuadkilleR, the Supporting Cast, mr. Gnome and many others. Check them out as they are a band on the rise.
