The road hasn’t been treating Moneen well — constant van breakdowns and questionable GPS directions have caused some mild frustration for the Brampton rockers.

However this hasn’t stopped the band’s consistent and rather hectic touring schedule. After just completing the United States portion of their headlining tour, Moneen is busy trekking through Canada to promote their latest release, The World I Want to Leave Behind, with friends Sights & Sounds.

The new release is a fresh reminder to fans Moneen shouldn’t be forgotten, even though it has been three years since their critically acclaimed third release The Red Tree. However, Moneen has delivered a surprisingly different, yet musically-tight sound on their latest album.

DEFYING GRAVITY, IF ONLY FOR A SECOND. Moneen stops in London Tuesday on their cross-country tour to promote their newest release, The World I Want to Leave Behind.

Vocalist and lead guitarist Kenny Bridges describes the new project.

“[On] this record we wanted to do something different,” he says. “It’s a more atmospheric sound, a quieter sound we haven’t really touched before.”

Moneen visits Call the Office on Tuesday and couldn’t be more excited. Bridges was quick to describe his love for the London music scene.

“Some bands don’t really have a favourite venue. I can always say that Call the Office has been one of my favourite places to play,” he says. “There is something about the energy and the bodies flying all over the place.”

A high-energy show is exactly what Moneen has been known for during their 10-year career. Bringing an arsenal of pop, rock and punk-inspired tracks, Moneen isn’t afraid to push the boundaries with energetic live performances.

Guitarist and back-up vocalist, Chris “Hippy” Hughes was eager to point out the thrills of performing.

“It’s all we’ve known for years, and when we don’t play, we miss it.”

True to their word, Moneen won’t let a broken van or messy GPS directions stop them from arriving at their destination — in the 10 years the band members have toured together, they’ve only had to cancel four shows.

So what’s happening in the near future for Moneen? The band has promised to cover the entire Canadian circuit for their newest release, travelling coast-to-coast.

Moneen hopes to tour even more in the new year, and perhaps take its sound in a different direction,

“Our favourite moments [during] sets — the stand-out moments — have always been the quiet songs. Maybe that’s the honest way to go for us.” Bridges says.

Moneen isn’t ready to quit anytime soon, and although a quieter sound might be on the way, the band is ready to rock Call the Office.

Moneen is at Call the Office Dec. 8 with Sights & Sounds. Tickets are $12.50. Call the Office is located at 216 York St.
