Biography
Monk is an LA-based hardcore band incorporating moments of mindfulness into their pummelling 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 bands like 86 Mentality, Knife Fight and Dead Stop, Monk sprinkle in wisdom alongside the teachings of spiritualist Ram Dass and gospel singer Tommy Butler.
Eschewing typical hardcore rhetoric, Monk instead focuses on more productive subject matter. The band explores themes such as impermanence and existentialism while encouraging the importance of being present, non-judgmental, and acknowledging both positive and negative emotions.
