Monocene’s Superior: A Promising Debut from the Heart of Indie and Alternative Rock

45

Monocene is a new indie and alternative rock band with roots in Croatia and Germany. The band was formed in the winter of 2023 by three talented musicians: Joerg Grote on vocals and guitar, Igor Zimic on bass and backing vocals, and Stjepan Vukušić on drums. Their first release is an EP titled “Superior,” which came out in May 2024.

The story of Monocene started when Joerg Grote, who had been playing music for a long time, met Igor Zimic. Joerg was looking for local musicians to jam with, and when they played together, they realized they had great musical chemistry. Igor then brought in his friend, Stjepan Vukušić, a drummer who also has a strong musical background and grew up in Zagreb, Croatia. Together, these three musicians formed Monocene, combining their love for grunge and alternative rock from the 90s and 2000s. They also brought in their experiences from previous musical projects and cover bands to create a sound that is both unique and relatable.

Their debut EP, “Superior,” features three tracks that explore deep and important themes. The title track, also called “Superior,” was the first song they wrote as a band and quickly became a fan favorite. The songs on this EP talk about love, grief, death, faith, and illness. They look at how people deal with the difficult and sometimes painful experiences in life. Monocene’s lyrics are thoughtful and meaningful, making listeners think about their own lives and challenges.

Even though “Superior” is their first release, Monocene is already planning for the future. They produced the EP themselves, which shows their dedication and passion for their music. The band is currently working on their first full-length album, which they plan to release on their own without the help of a record label.

In summary, Monocene is a promising new band with a strong debut EP. Their music speaks to the heart and soul, and they have a bright future ahead of them. Fans of indie and alternative rock should keep an eye on Monocene as they continue to make their mark on the music scene.
