   About a New Breed of Monkey
BBC Introducing with Tom Robinson on 6music

A New Breed Of Monkey are a cool, dirty indie band from Burnley . Their songs are sometimes melodic, sometimes fast and grimy, but never miss-fitting. The band play an upbeat, sweaty set, having managed to inject a spark of unique talent to an older genre. A New Breed Of Monkey play a mixture of Progressive, broodingly atmospheric indie and energetic Indie-Rock distinguished by some intelligent lyrics, haunting melodies and sharp guitar-work. Vocally front-man “The Bung” is similar to that of Maximo Park’s Paul Smith and in the quieter moments there is even a little Guy Garvey (Elbow), and like their northern counterparts there is a great deal of emotional intensity in the music ANBOM make. Very tight and well arranged it’s a compelling direction which sits nicely alongside the current crop of indie hopefuls yet as the same time is nicely removed ensuring the band stand out as something original and genuinely exciting. These guys are going to have little problem finding new fans. They are certainly a band to look out for …

Should you wish to see the bands own website, then visit www.anewbreedofmonkey.co.uk for loads of fun stuff including photos, music, and forums. If you are on facebook then you need to visit www.new.facebook.com/pages/Burnley-United-Kingdom/a-New-Breed-of-Monkey/11594610940 and become a fan of the band! Finally and most importante... sign up to their weekly newsletter on Reverbnation by using the sign up box on this page. Its fun and informative, and members get loads of stuff like free coach travel to gigs.

What's goin' on A New Breed Of Monkey? Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. Your beauty is multiplexed in contemplation of your multidimensional effervescence. I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence.
