Monark is a band that keeps evolving, which is the only way to stay relevant in today’s ever-changing media landscape. Fashions and fads come and go; the only way to stay with them is to evolve, develop, and change.
Record Of The Year
Monark has long been a force in the South African music scene with two full-length albums and an impressive run of consecutive Top 10 radio singles. They burst onto the airwaves in 2013 and bounced into 2014 with three SAMA XXI Award nominations – including Best Pop Album and Record of the Year. Their sophisticated pop-rock sound and heartfelt lyrics set them apart, making them one of the country’s most exciting acts.
New Frontman
Like many artists, Monark faced a tough challenge when COVID-19 hit. With families to support and live music at a standstill, they took a step back. But their story didn’t end there. Emerging from the pandemic with a renewed sense of purpose – and a new frontman, Johan, from their hometown of Potchefstroom – they found themselves inspired to create again. The result? A fresh wave of music proves they still have so much more to give to their fans and the local music scene.
Beyond their chart-topping success, Monark is known for their unforgettable live performances. Their shows are more than just concerts – they’re an occasion filled with big, atmospheric sounds and raw emotion. Over the years, they’ve shared the stage with some of South Africa’s biggest names, building a loyal and passionate fan base.
Signature Sound
With its unique blend of pop, rock, and electronic elements, Monark continues to evolve while staying true to its signature sound. Whether you’re looking for uplifting anthems or introspective melodies, their music is sure to resonate. Monark is performing on 19 April at Bands Innie Bush at the Port Alfred Easter Festival
