Dine Alone Records – 04 Aug 2023
“Rock,” the debut EP by Los Angeles' Monk, is laid on a foundation of early-80s punk rock, while mixing in other genres as needed. Except for the length of the songs, I've very much reminded of early Circle Jerks with the urgency of the music. Pick it up digitally at Bandcamp, or stream at Spotify.
Monk are alas playing a few gigs this coming weekend in Canada. Find info on those dates under the stream.
