AMG Review of A vs. Monkey Kong

Tim Sheridan
All Music Guide

Blending the best of Brit-pop with the bite of punk and a touch of techno, this outfit offers a visceral burst of energy. While lead singer Jason Perry sounds particularly influenced by Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction), the mix of catchy hooks and snotty insolence put this disc over the top. Dig the bounce of "Old Folks" or the frontal attack of "For Starters" and you'll get a good idea of where they're coming from.
