Brooklyn-Based Punk Powerhouse Monte Released New Single, Canna-Vision

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment magazine in the UK“, Brooklyn-based punk powerhouse MONTE have released the first single from their new album, Canna-Vision.

Canna-Vision

New single and video, Canna-Vision from Brooklyn-based punk powerhouse MONTE, is the first single from their new album, produced by platinum record producer Barb Morrison (Blondie, Franz Ferdinand). Canna-Vision narrates lead singer and guitarist Caitlin Montclare’s experience of re-entering into the workforce following the haze of the pandemic. 

Their nostalgic punk rock drum rhythm, fast guitars, walking bass-lines and hot-tinged vocals shout out to the California pop-punk bands of the 80’s and 90’s, bands like NOFX, Pennywise and Lagwagon.

Why come into work, when we are undervalued in the workplace? We might as well sit home, smoke weed, and be blissfully unaware of the crumbling world we live in. We should be neck deep in our art, not our work. Wouldn’t that be something?

-Caitlin Montclare

MONTE

MONTE was formed by singer and lead guitarist, Caitlin Montclare in 2017, later adding drummer and audio engineer, Ismael Baiz, and bassist Meghan Rose to the official line-up. Their music is influenced by a lot of bands from the late 80’s and early 90’s such as punk bands The Lunachicks, NOFX, Bad Religion, The Offspring and metal bands like Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Plasmatics. Montclare takes an old school sound and puts her own spin on it with the band adding interesting chord changes, riffs, and song structure. Drummer, Ismael Baiz likes to call this “The MONTE pocket”

Together, they have released several singles, two EPs and performed more than 50 shows throughout the United States, including renowned New York venues such as “The Knitting Factory” and “The Bowery Electric”.

MONTE’s first full-length album is due out late Spring/early Summer of 2024 and is being produced by platinum record producer Barb Morrison, and mixed by Grammy Award nominated Dan Malcsh and Jeremy Kinney.
