In the modern age of ultra hyped music acts every new band seems to be touted as having “an edge” yet when you actually get around to listening, all you find is bland.

So when everything is over-cooked how do you actually find music with some content?

Enter The Monkey Face. They are an Australian duo with a really great combination of musicality and grit. It’s very hard to find that balance of dirt and finesse that really makes a band shine but The Monkey Face have really mastered the art of combining great melodies, first class production values and that touch of nasty grit that really sets them apart from the crowd.

The duo consists of Adam Navin: Vocals and guitar and Stephen Allred: Drums. Listening to them gives you that slightly uneasy yet completely compelling feeling of exhilaration that only music with real content can inspire. If you’ve got something to say, you have to say it with a bit of umph! These guys never fall into the trap of going where you expect them to go and whole experience of their music is elevated as a result.

From a production standpoint, their music is of an extremely high standard without ever becoming overly processed or too glossy. The drums are solid and assured, the guitars bite in all the right places and the vocals stand proud in the mix to deliver the lyrics in a heartfelt style but with all the menace and swagger of any of the great fromtmen you can think of.

Music is meant to get the blood flowing and not just be a background noise for the iPod generation so put down your playstation console and check out The Monkey Face, this music is just the edge you have been looking for!
