Solarmonkeys band formed in November of 2011 in Athens Greece. Outset of their interest was to work exclusively on their own material and to release their music through all available ways.
Their compositions are built upon rock forms and their sound flirts with this of the scene of Seattle (the period of the eruption of grunge) mixed with a few computer keys and electronic elements. In any case their love for bands like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Faith No More and Tool are easily visible.
Early in June Solarmonkeys released their first official single "Inside your head", accompanied by a video which is the band's entry for the global contest from RODE microphones “Rode Rocks”.
"Inside your head" single will be free for downloading in mp3 format from Thursday 7/6 from Solarmonkey’s Reverbnation official page.
In parallel, Solarmonkeys are in recording procedure of their first EP release which will be completed in July 2012. The expected release is in mid of October.
