Monty Are I

by Kenyon Hopkin
Adding some brass instrumentation to post-hardcore, Providence, Rhode Island quintet Monty Are I (previously named "Monty's Fan Club" and "Monty") are Steve Aiello (vocals, guitar), Mike Matarese (bass), Andrew Borstein (keyboard, trombone), and identical twins Justin Muir (drums) and Ryan Muir (vocals, guitar, trumpet). In addition to playing dates on three Vans Warped Tours, the band has been on the road with My Chemical Romance, Story of the Year, Yellowcard, and Taking Back Sunday. Following a few self-released demos and EPs, Stolen Transmission records -- an imprint of Island -- issued the band's first full-length in August 2006, titled Wall of People.
