Northampton - The Black Prince
The Monsters were formed 1986 in Bern, capital of Switzerland. Their sound is a fuzzedout mix between 60's garage punk, wild teenage trash rockabilly and primitive rock‘n‘roll and black metal boogie. Its 187% no MTV and top 100 shit! It is simple One-Riff-Trash-Rock.
Besides the countless shows in Switzerland The Monsters played extensive tours through Europe including Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Austria, England, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Russia and Spain and more. They toured Argentina, Brasil, Japan, USA and Mexico. Needless to say The Monsters are a kickass live band who will burn every stage down. They were on the same bill with acts like Guitar Wolf, The Monks, The Sonics and many more.
Over the years The Monsters recorded 8 albums. Tons of Singles and EP‘s and appeared on countless compilations. The record „Youth Against Nature“ was recorded in the now famous Toe Rag Studios (London) by Liam Watson. „I See Dead People“ came with a 1000-piece puzzle, booklet, sticker and button and was already sold out during the tour. „Garage Punk Vol. 1“ is a double LP with 20 years of trash. „M“ is the newest full-length album and „Jungle Noise“ a re-issue.
The Monsters appear on Voodoorhythm Records, Switzerland. Voodoorhythm is run by Beat- Man, who is the singer and guitar player of The Monsters. Beat-Man played - and still plays - in other projects like Lightning Beat-Man, Reverend Beat-Man, Die Zorros and some more.
Go see them live on stage... they blow your brain away with lots of chainsaw massacre garage punk and primitive one-riff rock‘n‘roll trash...
