Damaged Music for Damaged People
Damaged Music For Damaged People - MOnk debut CD

 

 

 

MOnk promises to show you places you never seen, a  'Promised Land'  he has built ....just take his hand and go for the ride.

'Damaged Music for Damaged People'  is more than just a CD of songs, it is glimpse into Monk, his moods, his experiences in life.  He tells you how he searched for "The End of the Universe" and something to 'Fill The Emptiness.”

Slightly Electro sound, driving beats and words that hit home,  Monk has a CD that will get you up and moving.  With everything from early 'Sting' like vocals on 'End of the Universe', to the Latino flair instrumental of  'Arctic Blues' , this CD will take you to a place deep into yourself.

Totally done by Monk,  from writing, to performing, to mixing and producing, this is All Monk, exhibiting his perfectionist nature in every department with this fine tuned, perfectly executed, compilation of songs.

In 'So Sad' , Monk skillfully uses sound effects to imprint his message creating a visual you won't be able to shake.

The hard driving 'Hooligan Hearted' and "You know It" are the perfect petal to the metal songs that you need to listen to with caution when behind the wheel.

One of the true stand out of this CD is "The Only One" with it's dark melody with beautiful light vocals takes us to the place all of us know. And the final cut of the instrumental 'Arctic Blues' wraps up this entire CD beautifully, every note like a brushstroke,  painting a portrait of Monks soul upon your heart.

“Damaged” is much more than a CD of good tunes, it is a journey down the many roads we all have traveled. With his music, you will  'never want to come down' off the trip.

Let’s Ride.
