MonstrO was an American rock band composed of drummer Bevan Davies (formerly of Comes with the Fall and Danzig), lead guitarist Juan Montoya (formerly of Torche), singer/rhythm guitarist Charlie Suarez, and bassist Kyle Sanders.

They formed in late 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia and played their first gig in April 2010.[1] The band drew upon music such as 1960s psychedelia, shoegaze, and heavy metal, as well as other personal influences.[2] They signed with Vagrant Records in March 2011.[3] Their self-titled debut album was released in August 2011,[4] produced by William DuVall.[5] They toured as the opening act for Clutch in 2012,[6] and toured regularly until breaking up in 2013. Kyle Sanders joined heavy metal band Hellyeah in 2014 and remained with that band until it went on hiatus in 2021.[7]
