The Monks

Garage rock
Garage rock

The Monks is a Garage rock act. Their sound grew out of Strawbs. Those roots explain a lot about how The Monks arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Sonics, The Stooges, Black Lips, Paul Revere & The Raiders and Los Saicos, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Singapore Sling, Black Flag, Jay Reatard, Mark E. Smith and Jack White, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around The Monks, reaching back through Strawbs and forward to Singapore Sling.
