THE MONSTERS

In the organizer's words:

THE MONSTERS is a 3-piece band that was founded in 1986 in Bern, the capital of Switzerland. Their sound is a mixture of 60s garage punk, wild teenage trash rockabilly and primitive rock'n'roll and blackmetal boogie. It's 187% not MTV and Top 100 shit! It's just one riff trash rock.

Besides the countless gigs in Switzerland, THE MONSTERS have toured extensively throughout Europe, including Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Austria, England, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Spain and more. They have toured Argentina, Brazil, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, USA and Mexico. THE MONSTERS are a great live band that brings every stage to a boil. They have been on the same program as "Guitar Wolf", "The Monks", "The Sonics", "Ty Segall", "Black Lips" and many more. They played venues/festivals like CBGBs (USA) or Le Guess Who Festival (NL) as well as countless DIY punk holes.

Over the years THE MONSTERS recorded 10 albums. Tons of singles and EP's and appeared on countless compilations. The LP "Youth Against Nature" was recorded at the now famous Toe Ra Studios (London) by Liam Watson. "I See Dead People" came with a 1000-piece puzzle, booklet sticker and button. "Garage Punk Vol. 1" is a double LP with 20 years of trash. The latest recording is "You're Class, I'm Trash", release date mid-November 2021. The LP will also be released on Sounds Of Subterrania (DE) and on Slovenly Records (USA) in a Swiss-German version.

THE MONSTERS will be released on Voodoorhythm Records, Switzerland. Voodoorhythm is run by BeatMan, the singer and guitarist of THE MONSTERS. Beat-Man played - and still plays - in other projects like "Lightning Beat-Man", "Reverend Beat-Man", "Die Zorros" and some more.
