Not heard a release quite like this one and that is a very, very good thing - Distortomelodic power pop handcrafted by hard-working goofballs. Britpop goes 14 rounds with punk, with They Might Be Giants, Zappa and Robert Pollard refereeing. Emerging from the primordial soup of the collective unconscious and bursting upon the American musical scene with all the force of a truckload of pork chops, the Mold Monkies are here. And they won't leave.
Begun as an experiment in power pop by shadowy Northumberlandese punk-pop fixture Nick Appleby (Chopper, The Absolute Zeros) and other guy Russell Shaddox (Buzzbaby, Biff and the Squids), the Mold Monkies quickly evolved into an exploration of Spinal Tap's aphorism that "there's a fine line between stupid and clever. “A burst of energetic accessibility, The Mold Monkies not only write good songs, but the production on them, especially “Nixon's Nose,” is also just too perfect. Think new wave mixed with power pop and a little indie and you get this great tune.” – Ideat Village. “Dear power-pop fans: I have a new band to report to you about. Their name is The Mold Monkies. They have great groove and have the same mastery of pop hooks that Elvis Costello still boasts to this day. The band doesn’t care that they’re hilarious, it’s a natural thing for them and their hilarity comes across in not only their press kits but their lyrics as well. Be assured that if you like great pop-rock with a flair for inventiveness, than this is a band to keep on your radar.” – Smother. “ The Mold Monkies’ sound consists of fun, upbeat, guitar riffs, bouncy bass lines and solid drums. The result is a blend of power pop, post-punk, and indie rock that lies somewhere between The Strokes and The Super Furry Animals, with a touch of early REM for good measure. They wander sentimentally from bubble gum punk rock without losing a step or jarring the listener from a toe-tapping good time.” North East In-Tune. “This duo has written, played, recorded, and engineered one of the most complete overviews of the English New Wave invasion of America during the ’80s. And they’ve done it in a modern upscale fashion, incorporating the ’90s alt-pop and ’00s indiepop sounds into a flowing manifest of what at one time would’ve been hit single after hit single. Blending the meat of post-punk crunch with catchy ear candy pop, The Mold Monkies cover more territory in the first 4 songs than most bands do in a career.” – IndepenDisc. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
