Red Monkey - How We Learned To Live Like A Bomb
Review by Руслан Мурашев
Red Monkey's album How We Learned To Live Like A Bomb is a powerful and dynamic collection of songs that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and songwriting skills. From the driving rhythms and soaring melodies of the opening track "Firecracker" to the haunting balladry of "Broken Glass," the album is a tour de force of rock and roll energy.
The band's signature sound is characterized by a raw, unbridled energy that is both exhilarating and infectious. The guitar work is particularly impressive, with searing riffs and blistering solos that are sure to get the blood pumping. The vocals are equally impressive, with lead singer John Smith delivering his lyrics with passion and conviction.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Into The Fray," a hard-hitting rocker that showcases the band's ability to craft memorable hooks and catchy choruses. The song is a perfect example of Red Monkey's ability to combine raw power with melodic sensibility, creating a sound that is both visceral and accessible.
