DE MONT



De Mont was an energetic lightweight pop metal band from Sydney that formed in 1989. They were hard-working and cultivated a commercial look and sound but ultimately failed to gain popularity outside of a dedicated following. They recorded their debut album 'Body Language' in 1989 on the Giant label which garnered the singles ''Close To The Edge'' (which they promoted on Countdown) and ''I Want Your Body''. De Mont supported the likes of Ian Moss and also Mötley Crüe but were unable to translate their live energy successfully to vinyl. The group eventually split in 1991, with a live album 'R.I.P.PED' released about a year later.

Members

Craig Morrison (vocals), Peter James (keyboards), Terry Mandryk (guitar), Grant Byrne (bass), Rodney Willnet (drums)
