RFBX: ‘It’s Genius, I Swear’ Special – Dinosaur Pile Up on Monotonix’s ‘Body Language’
Ok, so it would've been very easy for to write about one of my favourite childhood albums; Pinkerton, White Pony, Melon Collie And The Infinite Blah Blah Blah... whatever - you already know how great they are. Instead I feel like I should mention a band more recent than those Alt Gods, and one with around 10 years’ worth less press.
Monotonix. Blam. Who knew that Punk Rock didn't curl up and die when bands had to start taking sponsorship, but instead it grew new, even stronger limbs in Tel Aviv. Ok, so if you know them already - cool. If you haven't - listen up. Imagine if Jimi Hendrix only played Black Sabbath and didn't give a f**k if whether he chopped a mountain down with the side of his hand or not. Then take the hairiest Mario or Luigi you ever saw, give him a mic, grow his hair really f**king long, and make him write songs called 'Deadly Weapon' and 'No Metal'. Then take a solid drummer with nothing on him but tiny red shorts, put a bin on his head and set him on fire. Then get them to record a debut E.P, call it Body Language, and show the world that if you want really, really 'real' music that was made with genuine blood and sweat, you can find it in Tel Aviv, kicking the shit out of your speakers for less money than it would cost you to get there.
