Monotonix / Never Died Before

Drag City

In a little over two years, MONOTONIX have become an incredible part of the international independent rock scene. Their refusal to sit still, or even leave the drums in one place for more than a song or two, is a part of their charm—the other parts include balls-out rock and roll (sometimes literally!) and a bottomless desire for good times. Monotonix’s two releases thus far, the Body Language EP and the full-length album Where Were You When It Happened? have distilled the rowdy essence of their legendary live shows into recorded sound—but the quest to fill the grooves with the rush that comes from the live experience continues. For their latest attempt, Monotonix traveled to Electrical Audio for some furious recording with STEVE ALBINI. The fast and fun results are available on two 7-inch singles “Never Died Before,” and “Fun Fun Fun.” These singles are songs-on-the-run, quickly rendered in best punk rock fashion in order to help pay for dinner or gas or whatever else is needed to get to the next town.
