The Monte Vista: Bio

Jesse Lent- lead vocals, guitar
Tom Cumming - bass, vocals
Dave Volano- drums

The Monte Vista earns the uncommon distinction of a band whose recent release could place in the classic rock pantheon, nestled somewhere between The White Stripes and Big Star, Tom Petty and The Rolling Stones. The arrangements are clean and bright, boasting a refreshing simplicity like a glimpse of the California coastline through Brit-Rock binoculars. Picture how 60’s Garage Rock would have weathered had it bypassed the 70’s punk movement altogether and shot straight through the heart of 90’s era Seattle. Then add a frontman whose seen the whole trip, although not chronologically, but in a more spiritual sense, and a rhythm section that is as tight and loose as they need to be. You should really check out The Monte Vista. -Theodore Hume
