There are three artists with this name:
1. an independent group established in 1996
based in Stuttgart, Germany and Basel, Switzerland.
2. a Romanian electronic trio
3. alias of Charles Noel
1) There was a time when the band we know today as Monochrome went under the name of Dawnbreed. They were a hardcore band that began to work different musical elements into their sound. Pop, indie, noise… you can hear it all in the six singles and two LPs that they released between the years of 1994 and 2000. With added female vocalists and a saxophone player it developed into the Dawnbreed/Monochrome Collective, opening doors for them musically without forfeiting an ounce of their live qualities. Energetic, almost brutal guitar-pop that couldn’t be topped in intensity, combined with the best that punk and hardcore had to offer: that was the mixture that nobody could resist.
The band continued to release their music under both band names and in 1999 the first Monochrome Longplayer, “Laser”, saw the light of day. In 2000, mainly due to their drummer quitting because of health reasons, they decided to permanently end the chapter known as Dawnbreed and continue solely under the Monochrome moniker.
Then came a period of personnel changes which led to the series of shorter format releases following “Laser”.

good stuff. on Ferro, they sound incredibly similar to Milemarker/Challenger at times, but yeah.. pretty. i don't know what's up with the random Radiohead lyrics though.

Last friday I saw these rock maniacs in Madrid (it's the 2nd time I see them in a year) and I got amazed. They stilla have the energy of Dawnbreed but the melodies of pop. Definitely… one of the best european bands in their genre (among others…)

sure they do try to sound like dredg. They're 'round since the mid-90s, so they tried to sound like dredg so hard they even anticipated them...
