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
4. Alternative rock band from Singapore
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”.

    MONOCHROME is still alive; they're doing shows and stuff. I exchanged a few e-mails with Marten Thielges back in December and he told me that a new MONOCHROME album is slated for fall 2011 :) Let's hope there aren't any delays!
