[1] The band have released their debut single "Stay" on March 28, 2015, and are set to announce the Apollo EP this spring as well as reveal live dates.
[2] Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Monarch signed to Northern Records of Orange County where they released "The Grandeur that was Rome" in 2003 and "lowly" in 2007.
The band later dissolved and reformed under the direction of Brennan in Seattle with the addition of Brent Kutzle of OneRepublic and other new members.
Monarch's songs are inspired by an independent approach to a melodic pop sound, including elements of urban grooves and hints of cinematic themes.
Lead vocalist has also explained that the band is still in development of their sound, but their love for half time, heavy synth bass and big melodies will never change.
