Moscow, Idaho’s Monopines returns in 2026 with their second full-length LP, Sunshine Through Plastic, a years-in-the-making song cycle that melds the muscle and guitar-driven weight of 90s post-hardcore with an idiosyncratic pop sensibility that feels like a transmission from a similar but distant planet. Think Hum and Quicksand meets Descendents and Pavement. The quartet, which features members of PNW mainstays Desolation Horse and Ideomotor, has quickly developed a reputation in the inland northwest for delivering a powerful, nostalgic, and instantly engrossing live experience.
