The Powder Monkeys story - THE SHIT......... It's the end of the decade, the end of the 20th century and what have we got?? We got techno-shrecno-drum'n'bass rave parties and other such crap for ecstacy-poppin' aerobics devotees. We got retro, revivalism and nostalgia comin' out our ears - '60s revivals, '70s revivals,'80s revival already!! - for those unable to cope with the harsh realities of the present. We got punk-pop-pap, complete with multiple body-part-piercings, skateboards, hot-pants and roller blades - FORGET THE MUSIC, it ain't here nor there. We got a little bit of this, a little bit of that- in short, A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING. In veiw of this desolate situation its a god damn miracle that we still got the POWDER MONKEYS, the last gasp of bare faced, honest , meat'n' potatoes, ROCK'N'ROLL , the last stand of 3 white boys, banging on toys- getting paid peanuts for making noise. The Powder Monkeys are keeping the rock'n'roll work ethic alive , they stand for blood, sweat, under-class agression and never having to say you're sorry. They are the LAST REAL THING left , and you better be grateful, 'cos when something this good, this pure and this original comes along , you just know it ain't in the interest of the corporate leeches who got a stranglehold on rock'n'roll in the '90s to allow it to get up, get down and show 'em for what they really are. The bottom line is SUPPORT THESE BOYS while you still have the chance. This is WAR , baby, a Rock'n Roll war against the grim purveyors of slick dick commercial shtick and when the smoke clears and the last call sounds, you better be clear about which side you're on! Are you part of the problem , or part of the solution? The Powder Monkeys are playing for keeps.- they don't fuck around, and neither should you. Real rock'n'roll is in short supply these days, and there ain't no room for wimps , geeks or limp wristed creeps here!
