Moneen Make Kids Crazy At Free Show

By Travis Persaud (CHARTattack) September 16, 2009 4:33 pm

Microphone stands were knocked over and people jostled madly to get to the front of the stage as Moneen's lead singer Kenny Bridges sidled up next to guitarist Chris "The Hippy" Hughes to finish singing "The World I Want To Leave Behind," the title track off their new album — and this was only their first song of the night....

Moneen have been away for a while and have gone through some lineup changes, so it's not surprising frontman Kenny Bridges said they wanted to make The World I Want To Leave Behind something that's "us, but at the same time completely different [from anything] we have done before." Gone are the unbelievably long song titles that marked...

Moneen's The World I Want To Leave Behind

Moneen Celebrate Good Times

By Paul Budel (CHARTattack) June 15, 2006 2:00 pm

One thing I've never understood in regards to Moneen is the oft-used "shoegazer" label. The only way this applied to the band during their set at the Opera House on Wednesday night was when one of their shoes would be roughly at eye-level. Whereas openers Our Mercury and The Junction used driving rhythms and odd time signatures to...

Moneen — The Red Tree

Shoegazing rockers Moneen return with their third and most adventurous outing to date. The basic swaying verse/soaring chorus formula is still employed, but the material on The Red Tree is more upbeat and energetic than it has been in the past, with the music coming off as a lot edgier. The best thing about the Brampton, Ontario quartet is that...

Alexisonfire/Moneen — Switcheroo

By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) November 1, 2005 2:20 pm

The split EP is a format that punk bands have been employing for years, so it's interesting to see a more mainstream act like Alexisonfire doing one with lesser-known Torontonian talents, Moneen. This split is a lot of fun because both bands cover each other's songs and, more importantly, they're having a blast doing it. Moneen's version of Alexis...

If we had an emo alert of some kind, it'd be going off right now. It it had a sound effect, it'd probably be like the red alert from Star Trek: Basically, this news is pretty heavy on the emo. We're actually wondering if anything could be more emo than this. War Child's just announced a special covers benefit concert in which bands will...
