Reviews.. "I last saw Unkle Monty at the excellent Bigge Venue at The Tardebigge in Redditch a few months ago, and I've got to say that if you're up for a heavy-bluesy night out with more original riffs than I've counted for many-a-moon, then the ex-Volume One-ers won't let you down. A solid blend of Free-ish and Ted Nugent mainstream that's foot-tappingly feelgood, and I guarantee it'll tick all the right boxes for you metal-heads out there"

"A couple of days later I popped up to check out probably the best stage and sound system in Worcestershire at the Tardebigge in Redditch. What used to be Volume One are now Unkle Monty and it's hard not to think of James Dean Bradfield when the frontman pitches his curveball notes at you. There's plenty of variety, though, and a searing bassline from the Midland boogie-boys, and if you're a Free or LedZep throwback (like me for example) then you'll be well pleased with the not-too-heavy - heavy set"

"Fresh from a string of gigs Unkle Monty are pushing forward with their tight blend of Rock and Indie. They are the real deal, searing bass lines and curveball vocal melody, with rock solid drums. Unkle Monty was Born in early 2007 when the three members of Volume One were joined by Matt. They cut accross various Genre to appeal to many. Hearing is believing. Come and check them out"
