New York City’s very own five-piece DIY ensemble, Monobloc, continues their winning streak today with their latest single “Irish Goodbye.” Adding to their quickly evolving discography, today’s release explores the social stresses of being young in a new city, while embodying post-punk complexity and charisma. Brief but incredibly intricate and complete with a flute solo, “Irish Goodbye” is a driving track that hears the band reaching new sonic heights while maintaining Monobloc’s signature New York charm. The official video for the track also premieres today, which was shot in New York City and self-directed by the band.  LISTEN TO “IRISH GOODBYE” WATCH THE OFFICIAL “IRISH GOODBYE” MUSIC VIDEO “In the fall of 2022, I was religiously watching this live video of Eric Burdon and War performing Spill The Wine,” said lead vocalist Timothy Waldron. “I was new to the city and still finding my crowd, ducking and dodging strong characters at every turn. I was in too deep with my odd jobs. I was falling in and out of love with it all. This song slipped out.” Reaffirming their unique talent and the success of their first two singles, “Where is My Garden” and “I’m Just Trying To Love You,” Monobloc pushes the envelope with forward-thinking guitar arrangements and endlessly catchy melodic rock. The debut songs were lauded by press globally, earning nods from NME, Paste Magazine, Rolling Stone UK, DIY and a cover story with Dork. With more music on the way and the attention of international tastemakers, Monobloc continues a monumental 2024.

Monobloc has made a splash on the global stage with a significant amount of shows this summer, including performances at All Points East, Rock En Seine, and a sold-out residency at Manhattan hotspot Pianos. The party continues this fall with debut headlining shows in Manchester and London, as well as appearances at Corona Capital Festival, Iceland Airwaves and the inaugural United Sounds NYC Festival.

Soaring out of the underground of New York City’s booming DIY scene, Monobloc, helmed by vocalist Timothy Waldron and Michael Silverglade on bass, is an exciting new project formed by two friends with a shared ear for merging pop sensibilities, with a distinctly metropolis post-punk attitude. Creators of the viral Minecraft music festival Block by Blockwest, Waldron and Silverglade were inspired to form Monobloc as a way to fully refine their sound without limits. Completed by Zack Pockrose on drums, and guitarists Ben Scofield and Nina Lüders, Monobloc’s strengths lie in their innate gift of storytelling; pairing texturally rich, visceral and emotional detail, with a minimalist instrumentation that sits as confidently alongside some of NYC’s artistic greats, as it does in its own lane entirely.  Undoubtedly a band to watch out for, Monobloc are rapidly on the rise. With a thriving live reputation across the US, 2024 sees the 5 piece come into their own with the release of their debut singles ‘I’m Just Trying To Love You” and “Where Is My Garden.” A masterclass in heart-on-sleeve adolescence, these songs are equal parts new-age indie and timeless. Bonafide classics; musically enlightened, and beautifully coming-of-age. Monobloc are the ascending sound of a generation, and we’re only just at the beginning.
