Monrad is the solo moniker of Matthew Ramon. Part of a reverb-drenched, instrumental surf punk band for most of his twenties (Rencontrez l’amour - Born of punk and reverb), he only grabbed back to music when he finally settled in a rural Italian village. Loyal to a reverby guitar sound, Matthew started experimenting with other instruments, different genres, styles and sounds.
‘Musically, the songs are rock but also sort of a dark mix of surf, spaghetti western and other like minded genres. The artist contains an amalgamation of influences but definitely has a signature sound.’ (Divide and Conquer)
Many hours and nightly sessions later, supported by Filip Tanghe (recording and/or live engineering Balthazar, Warhaus), a first humble attempt, the EP ‘Monrad’, was released. Two years of nurturing and maturing his sound and finding his voice, led to the recording of his first full-length album ‘Wired’.
"There’s something incredibly refreshing about Monrad’s music, it’s raw, honest and hits all the right notes." (Cheers to the vikings - music blog).
After 3 years, Monrad is back with a new EP ‘Not by design’ (to be released November 2024) - six new songs building on previous releases, experimenting with synths and different musical layers. Simon Casier (Balthazar, Zimmerman) and Michiel Balcaen (Warhaus, Balthazar, Rosenahl), laid down the rhythm section of the songs in the studio.
