SOLDIERS OF MONOCHROME

In the year 4.085, soldiers were sent back in time to prevent an Extinction Level Event from destroying  the planet.
This is where the journey begins…..

Monochrome was forged and created in the Zeta System out in the depths of space. They travelled across galaxies and through many dimensions until a rip in the time space
continuum, made by high velocity music sound waves, caused these frequency translators to crash land hundreds of years off target here on Earth.
They have blended. They have observed. They have remained dormant, until now.
So from Pandora’s box come
Beings with 30 years hip hop experience, to combine together to create Soldiers of Monochrome.
Lo­-Ryder and Wired produce, write and record all original material using many combinations of instruments and
advanced technology to develop their distinctive style and hard-hitting sound, fuse that with deep lyrical content and
devastating hooks……..

Sit back, Relax, head­phones on, and
prepare for a journey.
Enter…
‘Soldiers of Monochrome’……

LO-RYDER

THE ELDER STATESMAN OF THE WELSH HIP-HOP TRIO, LO-RYDER, ALWAYS HAS A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON THE HAPPENINGS ON OUR PLANET.

WHEN ASKED POINT-BLANK ABOUT THEIR ORIGIN AND HISTORY, HE'S QUICK TO DEFLECT ANY ATTENTION AND REDIRECTS THE DIALOGUE ONTO OTHER MATTERS, JUST LIKE ANY GOOD AND ACCOMPLISHED INTERSTELLAR MISSION LEADER WOULD DO.

WIRED

THE SMOOVE STYLES OF WIRED ARE ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS OF SOLDIERS OF MONOCHROME. TOGETHER WITH LO-RYDER AND DJ KRO-MAT-IC, THEY'RE THE FUTURE OF HIP-HOP.

WE MANAGED TO CORRAL THE YOUNG RAPPER FROM WALES FOR A FEW MOMENTS ONE NIGHT, AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED...

MOUNTAIN HEAD

Mountain Head begins with the Hannah Brothers, and a mountain. The mysterious duo wandered through the wasteland and arrived at a mountain, which they scaled. At the top, they discovered a shaman who changed the brothers' lives and way of thinking forever. Descending the mountain, they channeled Johnny Cash, Flavor Flav, and Billy Gibbons. Dressed in black denim, rocking solid gold grills and long beards, their eyes were obscured by heavy shadows from the brims of their black hats. The most startling change was their music, full of subterranean grooves, plump cavernous bass lines, and a jangly, grungy guitar. Their sound blends psych-rock, alt-rock, and elements of electro-pop and jangle pop into unique and potent sonic concoctions. Mountain Head's goal is to travel to your city and steal your head by means of mesmerizing vocals and contagious melodies. They're skull bandits, but polite ones, because after they steal your head, they give it back to you. According to Mountain Head, the only way to hold on to your head is to lose it.

THE SKULL BANDITS

AKA MOUNTAIN HEAD

"WE STOLE YOUR HEAD" WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TRACKS RELEASED BY THE CANADIAN ALT-ROCK GROUP. EVEN THOUGH THE SKULL BANDITS "STOLE OUR HEADS", WE'RE HAPPY THAT THEY DID.

THERE WAS NO QUESTION IF MOUNTAIN HEAD SHOULD BE SPECIAL GUESTS ON THE LAST EPISODE OF THE SERIES.
