"I picked up Monkeywalk's "MORE" at HMV's East 86th Street store (sadly no longer there)in the discounted sale bins and it is probably one of my 2 to 3 favorite unknown artists CDs. A Canadian band who don't seem to be together any longer, features great songwriting, gravelly vocals and harmonies and really good instrumental work. Rare to hear a rock based group use a muted trumpet especially on a tune titled 'Panic Temporary' but it works and really sets the tone for the CD. May not be everybody's cup of tea, but even after a few years, it's like a breath of fresh air every time I pop it in."
Best band you never heard

"These guys get my award for "most deserving of greater recognition". A great album- every song is good, catchy and the whole album leaves you wanting "more". It's smooth but with just enough edge. Stands up to repeated listenings. These guys are now known as "Driving Blind". Check it out."
