Hollywood Monsters was an American hard rock supergroup from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2013. The band members include Steph Honde (vocals, guitars), Don Airey (keyboards; Deep Purple, previously played in Whitesnake, Gary Moore, Ozzy Osbourne, Michael Schenker Group), Danko Jones (vocals), Ronnie Robson (bass), Vinny Appice (drums; previously played in Dio, Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, Kill Devil Hill, and others), and Tim Bogert (bass; previously played in Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, and Beck, Bogert & Appice).
The band's music genre is commonly referred to as hard rock reminiscent of the 1970s, yet their sound was also influenced by progressive rock and heavy metal. The band's most distinctive features are the vocals and guitar of Steph Honde, as well as his melodic and versatile approach to songwriting which add a modern touch to the classic hard rock sound.
