Monorchid

Formed in 1995 in Washington, DC, Monorchid featured a mix of punk and rock and roll, which was dubbed by some as "cajuncore", and reunited ex-[a=Circus Lupus] members [a=Chris Thomson (2)] (vocals) and [a=Chris Hamley] (guitar). [a=Andy Cone] (guitar), [a=Andy Coronado] (bass), and [a=Tom Allnut] (drums) rounded out the band. After three 7" releases, the band released their first LP, "Let Them Eat" on no less than 3 labels (with [l=Simple Machines] and [l=Dischord Records] sharing the CD issue and [l=Lovitt Records] doing the vinyl). The group jumped to [l=Touch And Go] for their second LP, "Who Put Out The Fire?". Chris Hamley quit after the recording and the band broke up shortly after the release. Thomson and Coronado continued on in [a=Skull Kontrol], who also recorded for Touch And Go. The Monorchid reunited for an appearance at Touch And Go's 25th Anniversary party in 2006.
