Rock 'N’ Roll is dead? You’re having a laugh. For the last few years, Monty has spent her time researching, reviewing, writing and retorting on some of the industry’s finest.

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 2024 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.
