Art against the authority.
Music for truth.
Monstr was born out the ashes of 2020 and a passion to use music as a vehicle for awareness. These songs are not political protests. They are stories to inspire and embolden those that have ears to hear and eyes to see.
Brave New World
The first single by Monstr, this song addresses the hive-mind state of our global culture and shines a spotlight on the Huxley-like dystopia we find ourselves in.
Produced by Ian Kaine MacGregor. Recorded at Firefly Studios in Vienna, VA. Written and performed by Ian Kaine MacGregor. Bass by Bryan Kimes.
“You traded all your truth for fiction.”
MONSTR is the brainchild of Ian Kaine MacGregor (American Jetset, 23RAINYDAYS, Big Paper Airplanes) and in his words “These songs are not political or religious – they are human.”
The aesthetic of MONSTR’s sound is defined by IKM’s familiar wail but there is much more below the surface. Driving guitars and pounding drums combine with the sophistication of ambient electronica, glistening synths, and understated harmonies. When it all comes together, disparate musical influences (Motley Crue, HIM, The Killers) are all on display.
While IKM is the only resident member, each song is a collaboration with like-minded musicians. The first release pairs IKM with former bandmate and current Villains in Vogue bassist, Bryan Kimes. With more music on the way, plans for US dates are in the works. Until then, take a stand for truth and stream MONSTR‘s “Brave New World” on all platforms.
Echo
Echo is the latest single release from Monstr. The song is a wake up call for people asleep in the echo chamber of Mainstream Media. It also calls out the ruling elite and their manipulation of society through broadcast propaganda.
Produced by Ian Kaine MacGregor. Recorded at Firefly Studios in Vienna, VA. Written and performed by Ian Kaine MacGregor. Bass by Bryan Kimes.
Sightings
“Fact check the so-called authority.”
Back to Earth
"Back to Earth" is MONSTR's 4th single. The song takes aim at the fraud of the space program and how those in power are replacing faith with pseudoscience through systematic indoctrination.
Produced by Ian Kaine MacGregor. Recorded at Firefly Studios in Vienna, VA. Written and performed by Ian Kaine MacGregor. Bass by Bryan Kimes. Background vocals by Ian Kaine MacGregor, Lynn MacGregor, and Grant MacGregor.
