Monarch is a Florida-based alt-ska rock trio blending punk energy, groove-heavy rhythm, and raw lyrical edge into a sound that’s entirely their own. Frontman Evan Kistner brings global experience and instinctive songwriting, crafting songs from freestyle melodies and emotional grit. Luke Christoph holds down the bass—and the band’s operations—with a background in classical training and heavy alt influences. On drums, Tyler Hillier delivers powerful, melodic percussion inspired by rock icons and driven by unfiltered creativity. With deep chemistry, diverse backgrounds, and a commitment to originality, MONARCH isn’t chasing a genre—they’re building a vibe.
