Start With This One

"If you are new to Pushmonkey start with this CD. This band put out an independent album in 1994 and then toured like madmen for 3 years. Most of these songs were played during those years and are by far their best stuff. I was lucky enough to see lots of those shows but you can still buy this album and hear them for yourself. Every song is good and you will be a Pushmonkey fan if you just give this disc a spin. Unfortunately they didn't hit it big with their major label debut and I can't really tell you why because there are some great songs on here.
P.S. "Maybe" is a remake of an earlier song "Sweet Carribean Bungalow". I think "Mabye" is better but check out their album Maize for the original."
Best Kept Secret

"Pushmonkey has got to be one of the hardest rocking bands out there. With a sound reminiscent of Metallica and the harmony of Alice in Chains, Pushmonkey has created a melodic sound that is still worthy of hardcore headbanging. From the hard rocking first and last tracks ("Lefty" and "Maybe") to the quieter "Loner" and "Cut the Cord" to the chilling story of "Limitless," this album this album is the best kept secret of the rock world today. Even the most critical will not be disappointed."
These guys are even better live

"I had never heard of Pushmonkey untill I went to Ozzfest '99 in West Palm Beach, FL. Normally I listen to very heavy music (Soulfly, System of a Down, Fear Factory) but these guys were absolutley amazing. I had the unique chance to get all of their autographs on a frizbee at Woodstock '99, which now hangs on my wall. I recommend this cd to anyone and everyone, but if youve seen them live you know that they sound even better than the CD does! Another great band at Ozzfest was (hed)pe, very good cd!"
