all about Mono Boy

Mono Boy Records started in 1995, the creation of high school senior Matthew Mittelstadt. Mono Boy was started to release his band's first three-song, basement-recorded cassette. This cassette by King of Birds became MB01. Later, friends became interested in recording their own music, leading to Mono Boy's second release by The Drummerboy and a couple of projects that ended up being scrapped.

insert a few years of college and slow musical development, and you'll come to the year 2000, where Matthew joined up with some fellow students and formed Center of the Earth. The Centers played a bunch of shows, rocked out, yadda yadda yadda, and recorded themselves an album in 2001. This first album to be released on something other than the tried and true cassette tape format marks the rebirth of Mono Boy Records and hopefully many more recordings to come.
