It’s been over five minutes and I’m still on hold with the free clinic. So I decided to put it on speaker and listen to this annoying beep sound and wait. While I do so I’ll jot down my thoughts on Sunken Monkey’s Party Scars. This was a task as I’m used to reviewing EPs. This might’ve been the first LP I’ve sat down with in months…that being said, it was a punk filled time that reminded me of Frank Turner’s openers and Mohawk sporting dudes at Warped Tour.
See Turner always has these super punk bands open for him even though his style has that same mentality only done on a more folk rock plain. I feel Sunken Monkey would bring that adrenaline to the stage and get his crowd’s really pumped up with songs like “O To Pissed (In 60 Seconds)” and “This Town’s Too Big (For the Both of Us).” I had fun with the fast pace of “More Beer Than Blood” and suggest you will too and found it funny that despite its title “Lookin’ Ain’t Fuckin” was actually one of the lighter tracks. Overall though I’d say I walked away loving “Pissing in the Wind” and the acoustic treat, “’Till Death Do Us Part” best.
In the time it took me to write this I was on hold for over ten minutes and then tossed to some automated machine…I then called back and was put on hold again. Maybe one day I’ll get to schedule an appointment. Until then I want you to note that if you’re into punk rock and like it loud and full of energy, then you need to mark your calendar for October 6th and get Sunken Monkey’s Party Scars when it drops.
