UPDATE! THE BAND IS DOING AN INDIE A GO GO FUNDRAISER FOR THEIR NEXT AMAZING MONKEY/ROBOT THEMED RECORD! SEND THEM MONEY! http://www.indiegogo.com/Rock-n-Roll-Monkey-the-Robots
Obviously by name alone this is the Roctober house band, which means I'm saving up so I can hire them to play in my house all the time. Usually the darker, heavier record is a band's second album, but since they waited til their fourth or fifth R&RM&tRs had to get super dark, singin' about crackheads, Satan, gravediggers, regrets, the Atari gaming system, and other such horrors. They have a song called "Static" that coulda been on "Static Age" (the only Misfits album with an all Italian lineup) and a song called "Too Fast" that channels the 13th Floor Elevators skitter psyche vibe. But despite the darkness, madness, and evil, these robotic monkeys (or simian robots, not sure) maintain a sense of bizarre whimsy, never losing the fun that got them to the party, as summed up in their immortal (or very mortal) lyric, "If rock is dead I'm a necrophiliac!"
