The Monks

Description:

＜The most important garage punk band in Germany, the Monks, a former U.S. soldier band in monk's costume. My name is Gary. My name is Gary, it's beat time, hop time, monk time! We hate the Army. What is the Army? Why are they killing kids in Vietnam? My brother died in Vietnam! James Bond, who is he? Stop, we hate the bomb. ..... The Monks were a band of former U.S. soldiers who, in 1965, when the Rolling Stones were called anti-establishment, produced punk rock with an industrial noise beat, all of them shaved at the top of their heads, monk style. The aggressive and derisive sound produced in Germany was so extreme that it was accepted only in parts of Hamburg. Since the 1980s, however, as their music became more widely known, the band's forward-thinking nature has astounded listeners and earned them the respect of a new generation of musicians, resulting in tribute albums and documentary films.We hope you will enjoy the sound of the legendary garage punk band, Monks. ~From the commentary by Jimmy Masuko
