The Monitors

The Monitors sound like a band that rocks because rocking is simple, pure fun…. … The Monitors bring fond recollections of the Pixies, Cheap Trick and Elvis Costello. But [they are] hardly derivative. The influences are jumbled into an oh-so-right blend of refreshing, energetic and catchy rock music. The Monitors deliver what they promise—all rock and no fuss. excerpted from review by Eric Swedlund in the Tucson Weekly (Tucson's Village Voice) The Monitors formed in late 2007, with Vikas Pawa (Nowhere Man, The Beating) on bass and vocals, Tommy Pritchett (Dog on Fire, Let's English) on drums and Morgan Schlaline (The Croutons, Ten Percenters) on guitar. Pritchett and Schlaline have since switched instruments.
