The project of songwriter Jordan Scott, No Moniker began with the “MONiKER EP” and “All Things Excellent” both released in quick succession in 2015. In 2016, first full album “MONiKER LP” was released. Dealing with the loss of a friend, “Good Bye Waste Land” was written by Scott in 2016, using the sounds of rock music to evoke bygone memories of teenage years in suburban Virginia. Afterwards, he returned the project to Richmond, VA and assembled a new lineup while continuing to tour and record. With Ro-Derrick Branch joining the project, “Private Prophet” was released on Good Eye Records in early 2019. Madison Hinson joining shortly after solidified the lineup, and after changing to name to No Moniker (formerly just Moniker) the band is going into the studio, with an eye towards a summer 2020 album release and tour.

Clash Music
“Moniker have a refreshingly broad sound…the band veer from disco abandon to crunching southern rock, recalling everyone from Orange Juice to White Denim to Kate Bush.”
Stereo Embers Magazine:
“Moniker are in possession of a precocious mastery of form….Proves anew what a great moment this is to be alive to new music.”
