The Monks of Mellonwah are a four-piece alternative rock and indie band based in Sydney. The depth and variety of influences driving each member has led to the formation of a unique sound, blending elements of classic blues & rock in Hendrix, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the Chili Peppers with more recent sounds including Muse and the Foo Fighters.
Since the recording their first EP - Stars are Out, The Monks have gone from strength to strength. Whilst receiving radio play for Swamp Groove and Fire in the Hole, they have continued to develop their electrifying and atmospheric live act through supporting bands such as Thirsty Merc and headlining a wide range of well respected music venues right across Sydney, including The Factory and The Metro.
The Monks of Mellonwah recently released their first music video 'Swamp Groove' and whilst enjoying play on ABC's music program RAGE, Swamp Groove also claimed first prize at a music video night at ‘Harold's Shorts’ short film festival, receiving great reviews and the award from music historian and personality Glenn A Baker.
The Monks are ready to release 3 brand new tracks which shows the bands versatility and quality in song writing and musicianship.

About this track...
“You Shine” is an esoteric frolic. The arrangements alone harken back to a smoke filled dorm room. This is the track that showcases the vocal prowess more than any other. Haunting and alluring, there's a manifestation that isn’t wholly recognized until several listens."
