Monikers – Unemployed

Biography
Scotty – Drums
Kaz – Bass
Mark – Guitar
Ryan, Mark, Kaz, and Scotty are a punk band. They play songs about drinking too much, working shitty jobs, attempting to recapture their lost youths, staying up all night and sleeping all day. Ryan cut his teeth playing with Florida heroes Discount for a long time. He’s old now. He eventually decided to return to his former ethic, starting Monikers after years (and one terrible electronic record) living abroad in Scotland.
Mark and Kaz have been around the gloryhole of the punk scene over the last decade, so they have lots of funny stories. Scotty (aka Scotty College) is probably the most famous punk in the whole of Florida. He can drink a whole lot and can yell ‘Skinhead!’ loud as hell.
They are big fans of hanging out and proud purveyors of Natural Ice. With ‘Wake Up’ now in the hands of fine people everywhere, Monikers are prepared to cement their place in history as one of many fish swimming in the sea of pop-punk bands with gritty vocals and cynical lyrics.
‘Wake Up’ is the product of year of slacking off, years of avoiding practice and playing far too drunk for their own good. Somehow, Monikers managed to get the songs down, book tours, and even answer their emails (sometimes). Through minimal effort of their own, they have become a real band (they even own a van now), ready to bring their brand of gruff pop-punk to the masses. With the air of Florida media powerhouse Kiss of Death Records, ‘Wake Up’ should be a welcome addition to the present state of music.

Seeing as Discount (Ryan's first band that he sang just a little bit in) and Slapstick (Brenden Kelly's first band) were contemporaries in the 1990s, I'd say the two of them were trying to sound like Jeff Ott or Blake Swartzenbach, not each other. But then again, who cares?

Jawbreaker should be higher up in the similar artists. Good band.

I agree with the singer sounding like a Brenden Kelly. I wonder if that was accidental or not.
