Los Angeles-based bilingual rock band, MONTE NEGRO, are set to release their new album, CICATRIX, through Feed The Hungry Records/Adrenaline Music Group on August 21.
After months of hard work in the studio with producer, Tone (Green Day, Carlos Santana), the final product captures 13 exquisite tracks that explore the beauty of two languages, English and Spanish. The album takes the listener through a multicultural journey exploring refreshing melodies and soulful rhythms while exposing distinct undertones and layers to make CICATRIX eclectic and bohemian, American yet worldly.
“Cicatrix is our band’s magnum opus, an accumulation of all the hard work, maturation, passion, and disappointments that we’ve shared during our eight years of musical pursuit,” says guitarist Jason Li Shing. “We are thrilled about the imminent release of this record and the opportunity to share our music with listeners on an international level.”
MONTE NEGRO consists of vocalist, KINSKI GALLO, guitarist and back up vocalist, JASON LI SHING, bassist RODAX and drummer, JAVIER LOPEZ. The band formed in 2003 under the name, Madrepore. They’ve opened for Latin rockers Molotov, Zoe, Todos Tus Muertos, Ozomatli and Café Tacuba.
Monte Negro is already making headway on radio with the debut of “Give Me Love (No Llores)” on Los Angeles alternative rock station, 106.7 KROQ.
“As an L.A. band, one of the most flattering responses one can have to an album is to be played on local radio, KROQ,” says Li Shing. “These last months have been extremely rewarding due to the myriad of positive responses we have received from new fans, promoters and MySpace, and we hope the momentum continues.”
Two videos are ready for play, “Me Duele No Estar Junto a Ti” and “The Part of Me (You’ve Thrown Away)” giving fans a couple different textures of the band. All videos will be distributed to TV and online sites beginning June 1.
