Monster X

Another of thousands of unknown Orange County based bands that came out of the independent scene there in the mid 1980s. This band featured bassist Steve Price, brother of Doug Price, both of whom were in another OC area based band, Zyniker. Monster X though was much more a rock and roll band than Zyniker was, who were much more dirge (Flipper, Joy Division) influenced. Other members included Steve Belmonte on vocals, Brian Pringer on drums and Dan "Bone" Moses on guitar. They existed from 1986 until 1992, but reformed for a few shows in 1994 and 1995.

Releases:

Thirteen well recorded tracks on this tape, featuring their trash and roll, almost glam sound.
