MONKEY ISLAND

Bio:

.. .. FREE DOWNLOAD OF 'SONG OF THE PURITAN' FROM luxe et redux OUR NEW ALBUM- CLICK THE LINK ABOVE! MONKEY ISLAND .. Brier twisting mire-wading siege survivors of fashion and fancy, gore splattered troubadours of beguiling bonecrushing ballads, angular Arquebusier's of outsider riffery... So, you wanna talk garage rock? Drawing on influences as far flung as 70's cod-rock, punk, English folk, sea shanties and miners hymns, imagine Bleach era Nirvana playing the blues with droplets of the bleakest, blackest comedy running down their spines. Equal parts frantic garage, malevolent hardcore and fractured, itch inducing instrumental fallout. Monkey Island have been called "Thee best live band in UK" by NME, "Dear God thank you for making this band British-*****!", Metal Hammer. "Single of the week" The Guardian, and, if you want more of this, it's all online somewhere; BUT, WE SAY: BLEEDERS, POETS, PETROLHEADS, KNUCKLERS, HOBOS, RANTERS, FREAKS, WINOS AND NER-DO-WELL'S - YOU ARE MOST WELCOME...next gis are: !DECEMBER 2010 ITALIA !
