Bio
Former Monarchs formed from the ashes of local Cork acts, and in their relatively brief lifespan they have toured the country with both Irish and UK bands.
Their debut release, "The Wisdom Of Crowds", was released in May 2010 to critical acclaim and national airplay. The band have been touring Ireland in support of the release, with plans to tour the UK extensively in the coming months.
The band take influence from Irish stalwarts The Redneck Manifesto, and sadly-defunct Danish trio Marvins Revolt. These disparate influences create a unique sound, as intricate guitar lines are underpinned by a powerful rhythm section. The main focus of the music is always on the melody, as two vocalists add a signature flair to the music, creating a sound that is rarely heard in modern rock music, a sound that is Former Monarchs.
