German texts? Check. German rock? Of course not. Noise? Lots of it. Noise rock? Not really. Rock? Of course. Post-something? Definitely. Just different. Just like MONZA.
An album that drones, roars and beeps, rounded off by lyrics that can be described as intricate dark poetry.
Nevertheless, we’re not dealing with German rock here, neither with affected pop.

Founded in 2012 in Munich, which – with respect – cannot exactly be described as the holy grail of the music underground. Is this perhaps the reason why MONZA  was able to emerge? A first demo was released in the founding year under the name “Patient Null”, the first single “Maschinen mit Augen” followed in 2013 and combined the typical elements for the first time: noisy arrangements, sound games and German lyrics. The EP “Ikarus” (2015) defined these elements, but was still searching for something. Now they have arrived. Their newest album (2019) is a monolith, a statement, a loner.
