Edit history

MONROE are a five-piece glam-pop rock band from Naarm/Melbourne, delivering big riffs, bigger hooks and unapologetic theatricality with full-force intent. Drawing from the larger-than-life energy of Queen and Van Halen, they fuse arena-sized choruses with glam swagger and punchy modern rock built to hit hard and stick. At the core of MONROE is the live show—loud, electric and impossible to ignore. Whether it’s a packed venue, festival stage or dive bar, they turn every room into a stadium, delivering performances that feel bigger than the space they’re in. Championing self-expression in all its excess, MONROE wear their identity as boldly as they play it: glitter-drenched makeup, bedazzled jackets, sky-high hair, and a visual world that matches the scale of their sound. Since their explosive debut, the band have gone from strength to strength. ‘Take Me For A Ride’ launched at No. 1 on community radio charts, followed by the cult-favourite anthem ‘Bad Bitch (You Can’t Kill Me)’—a chaotic, chant-along celebration of empowerment and divine feminine energy. In 2025, MONROE were crowned winners of the national Passport to Airlie competition, returning to perform at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music, and delivering standout sets at the St Kilda Festival and Mordi Fest in early 2026. With their upcoming release ‘King Of The World’, MONROE sharpen their satirical edge—skewering ego, performative confidence and the chaos of modern social culture—while doubling down on the high-impact, chant-along energy that defines their sound. Fast becoming one of Australia’s most electrifying emerging live acts, MONROE aren’t just building momentum—they’re building a world.
