4. Rock Band From The Philippines
5. Alternative Rock Band From Singapore 1 There Was A Time When The Band We Know Today As Monochrome Went Under The Name Of Dawnbreed. They Were A Hardcore Band That Began To Work Different Musical Elements Into Their Sound. Pop Indie Noise... You Can Hear It All In The Six Singles And Two LPs That They Released Between The Years Of 1994 And 2000. With Added Female Vocalists And A Saxophone Player It Developed Into The Dawnbreed/Monochrome Collective Opening Doors For Them Musically Without Forfeiting An Ounce Of Their Live Qualities. Energetic Almost Brutal Guitar-Pop That Couldn’t Be Topped In Intensity Combined With The Best That Punk And Hardcore Had To Offer That Was The Mixture That Nobody Could Resist. The Band Continued To Release Their Music Under Both Band Names And In 1999 The First Monochrome Longplayer “Laser” Saw The Light Of Day. In 2000 Mainly Due To Their Drummer Quitting Because Of Health Reasons They Decided To Permanently End The Chapter Known As Dawnbreed And Continue Solely Under The Monochrome Moniker. Then Came A Period Of Personnel Changes Which Led To The Series Of Shorter Format Releases Following “Laser”. Top Priority Was To Teach The New Members The Existing Songs Instead Of Just Writing New Material. But This Also Meant That Each Of These Releases Can Be Seen As Representing The Status Quo Of The Band At The Time Of Recording Or As Individual Chapters In The Band’s Progression. It Was Also Important To The Band To Always Have A New Release When They Went On Tour. During This Time They Toured Four Times Extensively Across Europe As Well As Twice On The US East Coast Where They Were Able To Play In Such Legendary Clubs As The ABC No Rio In New York And The Black Cat Club In Washington DC. The Revolving Door Of Monochrome Members Has Since Stopped Leaving The Band With A Steady Line-Up. The Members Are However Spread Across Hundreds Of Kilometers In Central Europe. Four Live And Work In Stuttgart In Southern Germany While The Other Two Are Based In Basel Switzerland. But With Good Organization And Strict Planning This Has Proved To Not Be A Disadvantage To The Band’s Creativity In Any Way. It’s Difficult To Try To Pigeonhole Monochrome. You Can Try Calling Their Music Indieguitarrockhardcorepop....Or You Can Just Listen To Their New Album. “Èclat” Is The Band’s First Longplayer Since “Laser” And Was Released At The End Of January 2006 On Sticksister Records. It Was Followed By A Tour Through France Spain Belgium And Germany In February/March As Well As Several European Summer Festivals And More Shows Can Be Expected In The Coming Months.
