ABOUT PALE MONSTERS (Short Version)

THE BAND

Pale Monsters are new wave-art rockers that bring an an off-kilter, modernized take to guitar and synth driven rock. They have been compared to Pere Ubu, Elvis Presley, David Bowie and the Talking Heads.

 

Led by the songwriting and "impassioned howl" (Vanyaland) of Chris Mulvey, the Boston-based quartet is made up of longtime Boston music veterans (and friends), Kevin McGrath, Mike Ward and Travis Richter.

 

The band’s 2016 5-song debut EP Take What You Can Take was "a set of loud, sad indie rock gems" (Boston Herald) described as "fresh and vital" (Worcester Telegram). 

 

In 2018, Pale Monsters released their first full length album titled, Are You Feeling Alive? The album has been described as "some of the best indie rock released in recent memory" (No Depression) and "one of 2018’s most effective rock records" (Cashbox Magazine Canada). "Anthemic single" (Vanyaland) "All This Time We Wait" earned a spot as one of the best of Boston singles by influential Boston music site, Vanyaland.
