Introducing: Making Monsters

• 7th Apr 2016

Say hello to Derry-based alt-rock four piece Making Monsters, who we’re pretty sure you’re going to be hearing a lot more from in 2016.

The quartet have just revealed that their new EP ‘Bad Blood’ will be released on 13th May 2016 and is available to preorder on iTunes now, with the band touring Ireland on a stretch of headline dates this May in support of the new record, including a special EP launch party in their hometown on 14th May.

Commenting on releasing new material, the band say: “It’s about time. This EP means a lot to us and marks a new era for the band. We’ve grown up, but things are still a little bit temperamental. We just can’t wait to put it out there and to let everyone hear it. It’s a progression in sound; we’ve had some time to think carefully about our next release and these songs are more mature and well-crafted because of that. We’re confident there’s a bit of something for everyone in there!”

Citing influence from the likes of Deftones, Basement, Alexisonfire, Arcane Roots, MuteMath, Taking Back Sunday and Night Verses, their diverse and uniquely organic brand of rock looks fixed to set them apart from the pack of rising hopefuls in 2016, with vocalist Emma Gallagher’s extraordinary range and diversity their ace up the sleeve.

The ‘Bad Blood’ EP is released on 13th May 2016 with further details TBA.
