History
Formation of Like Monroe (2012–2013)
Like Monroe was first announced in 2012 after member changes were made and the music started to move in a different direction. Ty Johnson, Wade Concienne, Alex Lofton, and Jacob Cardinal were all members in the previous A Candle Lit City[1] (formed in 2006). with a completely different vocal approach,musical content, and over all purpose. The band released their first single "The Enemy" in November 2013 and introduced themselves into the music scene.
Signing to Goodfight and first album (2014–2016)
On March 4 the band announced through their official Facebook page that they have signed with Good Fight and eOne Music to release their debut album later that fall. The band tapped producer Drew Fulk for their record and would release the first single "The Hills" off the upcoming album in September of that year. The band was able to land a support slot for All That Remains and AVATAR for a string of shows in September.
In support of their new record Things We Think, But Never Speak the band embarked on a fall tour with Eyes Set To Kill and Scare Don't Fear.
The new year would have the band on the road again continuing the support of their new record and they would tour with Mushroomhead, The Family Ruin and Thira.
This would be continued by another tour with The Animal in Me, The Things They Carried and Darkness Divided.
In May the band was able to land a slot on The Bud Light Rivercity Rockfest at the AT&T Centre in San Antonio, Texas with big name acts such as Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Anthrax, Drowning Pool and more.
A music video was released for the band's cover of "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd on August 31 and gave fans a chance to see their unique approach to a big hit single. The band went on tour early 2016 with Exotype and is expected to release the follow up to Things We Think, But Never Speak sometime late 2016.
Guitarists of Cody Horrocks (2017–present)
On July 31, it was announced by Drew Fulk that the band would be working with Cameron Mizell shortly again at Chango Studios, to record their second studio album. On July 31, 2017, the band officially announced their new lead guitarist, Cody Horrocks.
