In the two and a half years since they first dazzled at Seattle's Capitol Hill Block Party, Absolute Monarchs have been handpicked to play Seattle Weekly's REVERB Festival, chosen as one of the 10 best local bands of 2010 by City Arts Magazine, and named one of "6 Northwest Bands You Need to Know" by Spin.com. Absolute Monarchs are now preparing to unleash their greatly anticipated first full length worldwide this spring. The forthcoming 1 features ten adrenaline fueled tracks that showcase a unique and brazen mixture of noisy yet accessible post-punk and indie rock that grabs hold from the scorching album opener to the final moments of the album closer before loosening its grip. The LP is 180 gram gatefold VINYL with a download card.
