- Powers of the Monk, was founded in 2006 by David s. Monk and CasSondra Powers. The band is from Detroit, Michigan USA. In 2006 POM released "Killing Time", a 12 song CD, that showed the band was more 'electronic rock' back then. In 2008 they recorded a second CD called "Riding With Strangers", but did not release it. In 2010 POM took a hiatus and returned in 2020 with new material that showed the band in a more "indie pop" to "indie folk" mood. POM released a demo version of "Firefly" and a 3 song EP called "Freight Train" in 2022. In 2023 the band started a relationship with producer Dani Macchi, founding member of Italian band, Belladonna. Dani produced a re-recorded version of "Firefly", released in November of 2023. In 2024, POM and Dani Macchi wrote the song, "Switchin' Rails", that was released in February 2024. The third single called Puffy Head (with bird legs), was released in May 2024.
