Monobloc

Soaring out of the underground of New York City’s booming DIY scene, Monobloc, helmed by vocalist Timothy Waldron and Michael Silverglade on bass, is an exciting new project formed by two friends with a shared ear for merging pop sensibilities, with a distinctly metropolispost-punk attitude. Completed by Zack Pockrose on drums, and guitarists Ben Scofield and Nina Lüders, Monobloc’s strengths lie in their innate gift of storytelling; pairing texturally rich, visceral and emotional detail, with a minimalist instrumentation that sits as confidently alongside some of NYC’s artistic greats, as it does in its own lane entirely. Undoubtedly a band to watch out for, Monobloc are rapidly on the rise. With a thriving live reputation across the US, 2024 sees the 5 piece come into their own with the release of singles Where Is My Garden, and the bonafide classic I’m Just Trying To Love You. A masterclass in heart-on-sleeve adolescence, I’m Just Trying To Love You is equal parts new-age Indie, and timeless. Musically enlightened, and beautifully coming-of-age. Monobloc are the ascending sound of a generation, and we’re only just at the beginning.
