Monk - Rock

Monk is an LA-based hardcore band incorporating moments of mindfulness into their pummeling blitz. Their first release consists of Frank Bach (Vicious Cycle) on vocals, Daniel Romano (The Outfit), Ian Romano (Career Suicide) on guitar and drums, and Scott Sorenson on synthesizers. Inspired by the aggressive sounds of 86 Mentality, Knife Fight and Dead Stop, Monk sprinkle in wisdom, exploring themes such as impermanence and existentialism while encouraging the importance of being present, and acknowledging both positive and negative emotions.
