Whether you’ll be screaming or crying along to Monsters Up North, their energetic live performances and raw, emotional storytelling is bound to leave a lasting impact on any listener that may stumble across them. With their unique spin on Alt-Rock, Emo-Punk and vulnerable storytelling, the group undoubtedly resonate with their fanbase with songs tackling the confrontational topics of mental health and real life issues.
Although Monsters Up North’s inception was during the midst of the pandemic, the four-piece have managed to achieve unlikely, yet impressive feats given the tough times and the pause in the music industry. Whether it be supporting acts along the likes of Frenzal Rhomb, Loser and Anty, playing over one hundred memorable shows or releasing multiple bodies of work, the group continue to show a strong DIY work ethic, and no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Naturally, with the band's D.I.Y. attitude combined with anthems like ‘I Want You’ and ‘Family Reunion’ (placing #42 and #51 in the 4ZZZ hottest 100 and appearances on Triple J’s ‘short.fast.loud’ show) there is no question as to how they have cultivated a cult-like fanbase, launching Monsters Up North to be a household name around the Brisbane music scene.
