Artist Biography

Friction Monster is a 4 piece band from San Diego, California. They have been writing and playing music together for 15 years, and put out their 2nd studio album in winter of 2013.

 

"Tantrum" was recorded and mixed by Mike Kamoo @ Earthling Studios in San Diego, and mastered by Brian Lucey(Black Keys, Jane's Addiction) @ Magic Garden Mastering in Columbus Ohio.

 

They would describe their music as quirky, alt-rock pop. Their songs are fun, energetic, and written with the idea of creating a hook-lined, sing-along experience. Lead singer Jason Rodenbo has a way of taking his often dark, morose lyrical content, and molding it into happy, bubbling melodies.

 

Bassist Rick Parkhurst and drummer E. Lopez are committed to providing a solid musical backbone to which the songs can be anchored. Chris Black's guitar work runs the gammet from crunchy rythyms, to ethereal floating riffs.

 

Their goal is to submit their music anywhere and everwhere in hopes that an influential ear will listen, and help to create an undeniable buzz.
