Los Angeles Zen Hardcore outfit Monk is back with a new single, “No Gods” on Dine Alone Records. The song is a tornado of frantic energy and crushing guitars in a collaboration with post-hardcore vocalist George Petit of Alexisonfire. Monk lead singer Frank Bach says the song is about owning your life. This defiant meditation is delivered with the ferociousness and urgency the band is known for.
Stream “No Gods” now:
The B-side to “No Gods” is a high-voltage cover of Blur’s 1997 hit, “Song 2.” Monk’s take on this classic track aggressively elevates it to the next level while still being respectful to the source. If you liked Monk’s previous release, “Dark Side of the Mind,” “No Gods” is the perfect coda to a hardcore record done right.
