January 22, 2022MONTE (2022)
MONTE is a Brooklyn-based power rock trio that was formed by front-woman and guitarist, Caitlin Montclare. She teamed up with drummer, drum builder and engineer, Ismael Baiz early in 2018. Meghan Rose joined the band a year later adding harmonies and melodic bass-lines. Blending rock, punk, and pop, MONTE delivers a signature sound that is original, surprising, and relatable. MONTE's in-your-face lyrics and shredding guitar riffs are cleverly balanced by musical harmonies and catchy hooks.

Bad Kitty - "The Cry"
Castle Black - "Talkin' About Those Nights"
