Bio

The five members of FunkMnkyz joined forces through a mutual appreciation of EVERY genre of music, a love of the DC-area live scene, and a collective self-deprecating sense of humor. Influenced by 311, RATM, Sublime, Wu-Tang, MF Doom, Foo Fighters, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Glassjaw and many more, FunkMnkyz can play just about anything while their MCs rhyme. Their most recent release, Which Way is Down (a rap/rock masterclass), was followed by extensive touring and miles on their van. In 2010, FunkMnkyz joined the ranks of Jimmie's Chicken Shack, All Time Low, and Sev by opening the HFStival main stage.

"Yes ladies and gentlemen, rap-rock still exists and we have found its champion." Brightest Young Things

"Their sound is best described as a peaceful rampage, blasting out angry metal guitar on top of a plate of appetizing funk rock." Found Magazine
