Monte - Stay Single Review
02 Oct 2013 // A review by Peter-James Dries
Kiwis at heart, Aussies by nation, Sydney based Monte have just released a taster of their eagerly awaited forthcoming debut album in the form of single and video for Stay.
Influenced by Thrice, instrumentally Stay has a similar post-hardcore sound and structure, though the vocals bring a more radio friendly alternative rock vibe, setting up Monte to appeal to both traditionalists and neophyte camps alike.
Keep watching the Monte Facebook (www.facebook.com/wearemonte) for details of their upcoming release.
Monte’s single Stay is available for download and streaming from the band’s Soundcloud (www.soundcloud.com/wearemonte/stay) and the video can be found on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsc_dWig0Pg).
About Monte
Monte are the result of four friends with a background in metal and hardcore who moved to Australia from New Zealand with an aim to distil these influences into a more mature brand of rock music.
"Stay" is available for purchase on iTunes and to stream on Soundcloud, Spotify and Rdio.

Ra Charmian - Album Review: Waiata Wairua
08 Oct 2024 // by Peter-James Dries
Waiata Wairua is an album that wouldn’t feel out of place performed in a late night jazz hall in some alternate history where the successes of the Maori battalion lead to a proliferation of Te Reo worldwide. The sort of interest that saw your dad singing in French in the 60's, when Mireille Mathieu was knocking about.

Electronica offers no escapism for me. It’s more of what I already have.

20 Oct 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
You know that thing where the letter B has a personality, or words have textures and colours? That’s called synaesthesia.

Have you ever been torn between listening to Mozart or Periphery? Does Epica have too much of that darn singing for your tastes?

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.

day13n - Album Review: /7/13/7/
06 Aug 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
I’m too old for this world. We’ve devolved to the point where music is only as good as the soundtrack to your 10 second TikTok, and the thirty thousand copies recycling the idea.
