Bio
Punch Drunk Munkess produces a mix of hip hop and blues, with a cerebral lyrical content aimed at current events and situations that go largely ignored by modern music, which seems to be obsessed with love songs and dance songs that contribute to the dumbing down of society.
The band's influences include Eminem, Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews Band, 311, Beastie Boys, Gorillaz, and Sublime.
Back story:
Inonimous, a hip hop artist with 10 years of songwriting/recording experience, took a 2-year hiatus from making music.
In early 2009, he was approached by Sean Malone to take up the cause again as a hobby.
After a few studio sessions, they stumbled across the sound that would define them - a mixture of hip hop and blues/rock that catered to both of their musical backgrounds.
By the time the third song, "Caveman," was recorded, they had added other members to fill in as background musicians. The founding members, Inonimous and Malone, had committed to pressing a full-length studio album, which was released in January 2010.
