Description:
Their first full-length album in nine years is out! Higashi, the band’s guitarist and vocalist—and one of its core members—was originally from outside the prefecture but ended up in Hiroshima City, where he began singing. Later, in 2009, Monkey Business was formed with Higashi at the helm. After numerous lineup changes, bassist Yuko joined, solidifying the front lineup. Currently, while the band does not have a permanent drummer, they continue to perform energetically by inviting support drummers whose schedules align with their live shows on a per-show basis. They have performed numerous acoustic shows primarily in Hiroshima, and in 2024, they released their first acoustic recording exclusively at live venues. Through these dual activities, they have established a solid foothold in their hometown of Hiroshima. They have created a sound style—a three-piece alternative garage rock ’n’ roll—that had never been heard before in Hiroshima. With a sound that ranges from intense yet poignant, exquisite melodies to loud tracks—and a stylistic approach and fashion sense that set them apart from the so-called “punk sound”—they initially had little interaction with Hiroshima’s punk scene. However, thanks to their intense and passionate live performances, and their loud sound, they gradually began to attract attention from local punk bands and have now become regulars at punk-related events. They continue to gain supporters—even devotees—across genres and are known as “show-stealers”! Crossing the boundaries of all genres, from hardcore and punk to events featuring young melodic bands, they perform at numerous events regardless of whether they’re explicitly punk-related. Their genre-defying, authentic, and superb rock sound has been highly acclaimed across the board. In 2025, they welcomed Nass from the Hiroshima punk band SO-CHOPISTONS as their support drummer. It has also been confirmed that in April 2026—a full nine years since their last full-length album released in 2017—they will release a new full-length album via the local Hiroshima indie punk label DUMBRECORDS.
