The band was formed in 2012 by lead vocalist, Bobby ‘Monarch’ Mitchell, and lead guitarist, Riley ‘Riff Master’ Jones, who were both working as songwriters for other musicians at the time. The duo had a shared dream of performing their own music and expressing their raw feelings on stage.

Full song lyrics:
(Verse)
G D
In the shadow of the pale moonlight,
Em C
A bottle and a broken heart unite.
G D
Underneath the stars, I serenade,
Em C
In whispers of a love that slowly fade.
(Chorus)
G D Em C
Whiskey bottle serenade,
G D Em C
Sing me a tune of love betrayed.
G D Em C
Beneath the sky’s vast serpentine,
G D Em C
I drown my sorrows in your brine.
(Verse)
G D
Drunk on memories, sober with regret,
Em C
In this whiskey bottle, our fates met.
G D
As the night unfolds its lonely shroud,
Em C
I sing our story, clear and loud.
(Chorus)
G D Em C
Whiskey bottle serenade,
G D Em C
Echoes of a love that couldn’t stay.
G D Em C
In your liquid amber, I confide,
G D Em C
All the tears that my heart couldn’t hide.
Favorite Fan:
Their biggest fan is Hank Thompson. He’s a truck driver who fell in love with their music during a long haul through the heartland. “Monumental Cream, they’re not just a band, they’re an experience. Every song feels real, like a piece of someone’s life story,” Hank once said. “Their music has gotten me through some long, lonely nights on the road. Whiskey Bottle Serenade, man, that one hits close to home. I’ve been that guy, singing to his bottle, lost in a sea of regret. They put words to feelings I didn’t know how to express. That’s why they’re my favorite. They make me feel seen.”
