Biography

Seattle Post-Punk, Alternative, and Darkwave. Solo artist. Independent. Self-Produced. Just me, a couple of guitars, a keyboard, and my spare time.

 

 Only Monsters current project is a series of EPs that take a decidedly more Darkwave approach. These EPs are companion pieces, hitting on themes of identity, existentialism, futility, and resistance - they are dark songs for dark times.

 

Praise for ONE: "One has a mostly electronic and synthetic feel. It sounds like it has elements of post-gothic, darkwave, house, and alternative and grunge. Only Monsters performed all instruments, programmed drums and percussion, and performed all vocals. The style quality has an essence of Nine Inch Nails, with a beat style of Kavinsky...The thing I love about what Only Monsters has done here is they have taken a very dark and depressing series of topics and they explored it both lyrically and musically." - Fifteen Minutes of Fame

​

Only Monsters second album "No One Hears, No One Sees" released April 5th, 2024. An eight track album that blends post-punk, alternative, and a dash of emo to create a somber tapestry; eight tracks thematically entwined by their observational existentialism, sense of exhaustion, and resilience in the face of modern externalities such as political upheaval, feelings of helplessness, and religious extremism.

 

Only Monsters debut album, Influence released in October 2023. The debut album is about power and influence. It is about the fleeting nature of power and those who chase it, their unearned influence, and their damage.
