The Monks were five beat playing American GIs stationed in Germany who, after their discharge, decided to stay and continue their musical mission. Meeting up with a team of local managers, they transformed themselves and their sound into a holy racket like the world had never known. This five- person order literally birthed the garage, psych and punk genres through a fuzz-drenched evolution of sound, bursting with social commentary and future primitive rhythms.
