Monarch Changes Name To Wye Oak

Monarch has changed its name to Wye Oak. It's a better name, don't you think?

Wye Oak

The stately Baltimore duo Monarch (read AGT's review of this Top Ten Album of 2007, If Children (Morphius)) to Wye Oak. Why the change? It appears there are about a dozen other Monarchs out there, including a drone-metal variety that has played Supersonic Festival in Birmingham, UK.

As we mourn the passing of this name, we celebrate the prettier, more Maryland-centric Wye Oak. In celebration, download today's free MP3, "Warning", from If Children. Just click the link above.
