MONOEYES formed in 2012 after the breakup of the Japanese rock band The Birthday. The group includes frontman Chikara Matsunaga, guitarist Ken Matsuda, bassist Shinji Masuko, and drummer Tatsuya Mitsuyasu. They signed with Getting Better Records in 2015 and released their debut album "MONOBRIGHT."
Their song "Get Up" became something of an anthem for listeners, though the band's sound isn't easily pinned to one style. They've toured and shared stages with acts like Foals and The Maccabees.
In 2017, their music video for "Labyrinth" drew criticism for its explicit content. The band defended it as part of their artistic vision. Other tracks like "My Instant Song" and "Two Little Fishes" show their range across different moods and approaches.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
