There's been some changes (for the better to be sure) with the 'Monsters of late, mostly surrounding the re-emergence of the band as a fully-rockified power trio soon to be hitting the live circuit!.
Hey there Popular Monsters—Thanks for the add! We really dig yer tunes too! I think what you're hearing, actually, is a classic Mesa Boogie. Though one of us did rock the Peavey 30 back in the day... never shoulda gotten rid of that thing...
You know, i've heard better christian rap....wait a minute, there is no such thing as good christian rap! But seriousley, really nice tunes, keep me posted on any possible live happenings. take care
