ABOUT

The City of Angels is steeped in music history from the formation of legendary rock acts through some of today's biggest stars. It's no surprise that in a city like Los Angeles, you find a band like Starch Monkey. Formed in 2011, the band draws influence from the pioneers of classic rock while infusing their sound with fresh and future-focused ideas. Supported by a rock-solid rhythm section, Starch Monkey has shared the bill with many talented local acts as well as legends like King’s X, Faster Pussycat and The Yardbirds.

Released May 1, 2017, "Everything You See" is the fourth EP released by L.A. based rock band Starch Monkey. Comprised of 5 tracks, this latest EP is a definitive shift in sound for the band, focusing on a more elaborate production, resulting in a polished and full sound. Recorded in North Hollywood at the iconic Larrabee Studio #5, these five tracks continue to carve out the band's own brand of rock and roll, planting a declarative flag in their evolution of sound.

The latest single, “In My Hands” scored a 7.6 “Sound Out” Crowd Review, garnering a featured artist slot and placing the band solidly in the Top 10 on ReverbNation. Combined with previous singles “Take Me Home” and “Only You,” Starch Monkey has also earned featured artist slots on Boston Rock Radio, Krave Radio, Rock Rage Radio and soon to be announced, a featured artist slot on Los Angeles radio, 95.5 KLOS’ Frosty, Heidi & Frank’s “Stay or Go” show.

Rock and roll is moving forward, make sure you are along for the ride.
