| - The Mono Polys were an English indie pop band, formed in Colchester in 2012 by vocalist and guitarist Tom Knights and keyboardist Josh Harrison. The band was later expanded to include brothers Luke Vosper on bass and Isaac Vosper on drums. Knights and Harrison had previously been a member of Red Fentre, who had performed at a Sixth Form College battle of the bands competition at Colchester Arts Centre, and later changed their name to Broken Bottles. The band were supported and managed by Mark Pearman, a TV Executive at Sky Sports whose daughter introduced Knights in early 2012. It was announced on the band's Facebook page on 11 January 2015 that founder Josh Harrison was leaving the band to "pursue other musical interests". Knights had begun another project initially under the name Hostage, which then became Obsess in December 2014 and by January 2016, Knights had formed a new band 'Lunar Quiet' in Brighton and was also being advised by former Food Records executive and Blur manager David Balfe as to his future plans regarding his work. Knights committed suicide following "mental health issues that he could no longer cope with", in Brighton on 22 October 2016, aged 22. A cassette single by 'Lunar Quiet' titled Cold Spell was released posthumously in memory of Knights and also included a fanzine and A4 poster. A memorial gig took place on 14 December 2016 at the Green Door Store venue in Brighton, with the likes of local bands Morning Smoke, Beachtape and Eyesaw performing and attendees asked to make a donation to Colchester Samaritans.
