MONOWHALES

MONOWHALES are a JUNO Award-winning, three piece, alt-rock band from Toronto, Ontario.

MONOWHALES exploded onto the scene in 2017 with their debut single “Take It Back.” Quickly rising to #25 on the alt rock charts in Canada, the song was part of a collaboration with producer Al-P (Death From Above 1979, Young Empires) that spawned their debut EP Control Freak. The band has had countless shows across Canada, including support slots for K.Flay, Sloan, and Marianas Trench, amongst others. In 2019, MONOWHALES were awarded the Jim Beam INDIE Award for Best Alternative Artist/Group of the Year, and saw multiple songs from Control Freak featured in Netflix's “Spinning Out” series and CBC drama "Northern Rescue".

That same year, MONOWHALES partnered with JUNO-award nominated producer Ryan Worsley (Dear Rouge, Brave Shores) to begin work on a new record. The resulting single “RWLYD (Really Wanna Let You Down)” propelled MONOWHALES into the mainstream, hitting #2 on the Mediabase Canada Alternative Rock Chart and making history as the only independent, self-managed band to achieve such a feat.

A cross-Canada tour followed the release of “RWLYD”, with the band stopping off in BC to complete their new album with Worsley. MONOWHALES gave fans a taste of the resulting album with the release of a new single “All or Nothing” in late August, 2020 peaking at #7 on the alt rock charts. With the release of their debut album “Daytona Bleach” in March of 2021, MONOWHALES continued their meteoric rise, and their ambitious touring schedule, and they were awarded “Breakthrough Group of the Year” at the 2022 Juno Awards.
