Band Aid Magazine Bionic Monks review, Strand Theater, Shelbyville, IN - 7/12/08
We'll start with The Bionic Monks, as they played first. And let me tell you, they were great. The sound in the Strand Theater wasn't the greatest but it is most definitely not the worst I've heard. But despite that minor flaw, TBM had some great music. On their myspace ( http://www.myspace.com/thebionicmonks ) they label their music as Rock / Metal / Punk. I'd have to say that's a very apt description.
With Dad on the bass and lead vox, the older son playing guitar, the younger son (you guess his age...I was way off) on the skins and a family friend completing the quartet on guitar, they pulled of the mixture of styles quite well. I expect to hear a lot more from these guys in the future.

The Bionic Monks are truly a band of brothers. This family band includes members from young to old, and the chemistry is heard throughout each song. Their crunchy, bass-thumping riffs create havoc in each song. The guitar solo's remind me of Kirk Hammett, which is a big statement, but the talent is there. Add in the old school vocals, and the combination brings a smile to your face. There is definitely some classic metal in this family's bloodline, which is a great thing for this band's future. Reviews of their live shows have been good, so I see nothing but good things for this band in the future. Maybe need a name change, but that's just me!
