The reigning monarchs


The Reigning Monarchs are a surf punk band from North Hollywood, California, formed in 2007 by guitarists Greg Behrendt and USA Mike Eisenstein. The current line-up includes bassist David Hawkins and drummer Blair Sinta. All songs are written and produced by Behrendt and Eisenstein, and The Monarchs have released a full-length LP and a split EP with Laramie Dean (also produced by Eisenstein).

On September 24, 2013, the band released their second full-length LP, "Black Sweater Massacre", which was funded through a campaign on the crowd-sourcing website Indiegogo.

Their music is frequently used on Walking the Room, Behrendt’s podcast with Dave Anthony, and the band performs live at the show's "Starfish Circus" events. The Monarchs also play gigs independently throughout Southern California.
