From local gems to arena-sized extravaganzas, Monty has chatted with both big names and small. With a highlight year coming from her work at Download Festival 2023 and a continuous influx of raveningly good rock, Metal, blues music and beyond beckoning to be indulged into, her passion for the scene and writing emerges through MetalTalk.
