I've kept a close eye on the indie-folk band Monsters Calling Homethroughout 2012 and I'm sitting at the edge of my seat, waiting for them to become the next big thing.
I was introduced to MCH's music in February, when I had a merch booth for my clothing line at a benefit concert held in a Torrance high school gym. (You have to start somewhere, right?) When they first stepped on stage, I was intrigued by how genuine their music felt. Between their group harmonies and soaring violin sections, MCH provokes a sense of peace that complements their lyrics about struggle.
Since their high school gym gig, they have played small venues in the Los Angeles area, opened for Anberlinin June and performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
