I was one of the lucky ones who got to see Kurt Vile live at Vicar Street late last year. If you’ve heard his most recent record, Bottle It In, you might get the impression that he’s pretty laid back. That wasn’t the case on the night however.

Following the release of the well received “You’ve Got Male” earlier this year, MUNKY are back with their second single of 2019. “One In Five” is fired up in both sound and theme from the beginning as the band focus their attention on the #metoo movement, looking at it from the male perspective and the lack of empathy often shown. A track whose lyrics certainly … Continue reading MUNKY Release New Music
