Biography:

With a wink and a nudge, through the past and into the distant beyond, Monterreys will sweep you into their sonic spectrum of sound and transform you back to another time, or perhaps forward, to another galaxy. The reverb drenched, 6-string mayhem, is courtesy of Johnny "Rocket" Stewart, and the driving, raucous rhythm of Jason Dickey, is matched only in fury, by crazed bassist Leon Daniel, to form a wall of virgin and vintage voodoo. Sinister and sweet sounds merge together and Monterreys will have you champing at the bit to get up and boog-a-loo! BE PREPARED to have the time of your life...

The debut self-titled EP on KBK Records is available NOW!

In a calculated and well-executed move the band slows the tempo back down with “Wave of Kaui” before re-launching into the finale of “Zeta Reticuli” which may be the only song I’ve ever heard to where I could literally hear an army of zombies marching in my head. But the closer definitely has that feel of a theme song or wrap-up for the album, and the sequencing for the rest of”
