About Me |
|
The Munroes are a very exciting and unique Rock N Roll band. Their live performances are honest and charismatic, filled with passion, with simple but powerful melodies, lyrics with a message, and driving energy. Liam Gallagher of Oasis commented that they reminded him of The Sex Pistols when he heard the tracks 'I'm Gonna Go To University' and 'Top Shelf Lily'. Others have said that lead singer, Robert Munro Runciman, sometimes reminds them of the early Mick Jagger and Jim Morrison. Favourite track 'Rainbow Sun' has a strong Beatles feel to it, and has been a very popular song in the London night clubs. The Munroes are developing into a very strong force, with strong messages, commenting on the tough times that face society today. 'Gunning Us Down' has created a lot of interest and should be a song to be remembered. Come check these boys out, see upcoming shows above.

BE INSPIRED Rolling Stones/ Oasis/ Libertines/ Beatles/ Small Faces/ Verve/ Bob Dylan/ Kinks/ Stone Roses/ Radiohead/ Kings Of Leon/ Strokes/ Black Rebel Motorcycle Club/ T-Rex/ Stooges/ Jam/ Ramones/ Clash/ Sex Pistols Sounds Like: Dirty Rock N Roll Punk Blow Up @ Metro Club, August 4th 2007 BASE.AD - Words by Evan Parker "The Munroes take to the stage without a word and blast straight into a lairy version of ‘Gunning us Down’, which brings to attention the fear and violence prevalent in today’s society, as Robert Runciman drawls like Julian Casablancas if someone slipped Never Mind The Bollocks into his CD player while he was asleep. The Munroes are a band touted by none other than Liam Gallagher as the new Sex Pistols. They make no nonsense Ramones style punk, with no frivolities, singing about ‘Rock n Roll Girl[s]’ which has all the indie cindys at the front swinging each other around, whereas The Beatle-sy ‘Rainbow Song’ causes mass making out between couples. There is barely a pause between each song – the last note of the song barely ringing out from the guitar before Robert Runciman spits “One, Two, Three, Four!” and the band rattle through another raucous booze soaked song. Luckily the band is up to speed as drummer Michele Camasso drums like he’s wearing that reverse bear trap with the timer from Saw on his head, frantically drumming for his life. As they put away their instruments, chants of “encore, encore” are met with a riotous cover of ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ minus the now awol singer and plus one very wasted man, who dances around the stage like Bez and provides the “whoo whoos!” The real singer finds his way back to the stage in the end, beer in hand, happy with the impostor who is actually doing a sterling job!" ART ROCKER - "The Munroes are certainly ready for their close up. These leering, letching rockers are pitched somewhere between BRMC and The Libertines – not exactly a recipe for revolution, but one that does bring forth some breezy pop moments. ‘Rainbow Sun’ in particular is fuelled by contradictory emotions; it’s nostalgic but energetic, sad but determined. That’s as far as the poetry goes though; lead singer Robert Ruciman tumbles around the stage like a boozed up Ollie Reed, and is good, rock ‘n’ roll bang for your bucks. GIGSONAIR - "The Munroes took to the stage at around 9.30pm and the band members lead by Robert Runciman, decked out in matching skinny leather jackets reminded me of my early days when I used to watch recordings of The Ramones at CBGB’s and wished I was in a Rock n Roll band. With tunes reminiscent of what you would hear in New York’s Greenwich Village and lyrics stolen from their dad’s poems, they gave a performance that would have not looked out of place at the 100 Club back in 1976 but with modern day melodies and a lot more chords."
