The Pitch of Discontent

188 - Monica Strut (The Last Martyr)


Listen Later

This week we’re joined by Monica Strut, music journalist and frontwoman for “cyber-pop metalcore” outfit The Last Martyr. The group are gearing up to release their new EP, ‘Requiem’ (out independently on October 23rd), which follows a period of creative renewal for the Naarm/Melbourne quartet and a reaffirmation of their dark sonic intent. Monica chats about reflecting on rejection, finding collective solidarity and strength in her bandmates, and using narrative metaphors to emphasise dystopian lyricism.
