Lochness Monster

An integral part of South Florida’s indie music scene, Lochness Monster began its musical journey in 2014 by its founding member Justin Shaner. Shaner, driven by his passion for music, stepped from behind the drum kit to take the mantel of lead guitarist and composer for his new musical venture, Lochness Monster. He then began creating demos at his home over the next year. With the help of some close musician friends, Shaner began working with varying players and Lochness Monster began taking form featuring the talents of, Michael Morello as Lead Vocalist, Andre Serafini on Drums, and Larry Monteleone on Bass. Now with a solid line-up of talented musicians, Lochness Monster began eagerly working on their debut album “Fables” in July of 2016, under the production direction of James Paul Wisner (Producer of Dashboard Confessional, Paramore, Hands Like Houses, The Dangerous Summer, and Further Seems Forever). After 5 weeks of an intense recording process in Wisner’s St. Cloud Studio, Lochness Monster finally released their debut album “Fables” January, 12th, 2017. The album was well received by critics and over 120 independent and core radio stations added Lochness Monster to their rotation. Soon after the album release though the band would experience a line-up change with the departure of Drummer Andre Serafini, Bassist Larry Monteleone, and Lead Singer Michael Morello. Focused on bringing the undiscovered sound of “Fables” to the music scene, Shaner began trying out new people for several months and finally discovered Camillo Zea (Bass Guitar), Rene Rivera (Drums and Backing Vocals), and Bruce Donaldson (Lead Vocals) as the best fit musically. With a strong new roster cemented, Lochness Monster is making its heartfelt and thunderous sound known through its live show and continue to make new music.
