Manjam Monkey.... sounds silly but its true... the band have been compared to the sounds of Beck, Love and Rockets , The Stone Roses and strangely , John Williams. To be honest this an exercise in futility... have a listen and feel free to make you own decisions... its probably for the best. Hope you enjoy the tunes! :-)
