LIVE SHOW REVIEWS
"The Monkeysoop blend includes furious, polyrhythmic, progressive metal and a more appetizing version of 'new age.' . . . reminiscent of heavy metal circus music. " - Darren, SA Rocks
"Jerry Connor's metal-erotic guitar pulled you out of the urban setting and threw you into the cosmos . . . an easy-on-the-ears . . . high-volume crunch, thrash, bright sound . . . the versatility and dexterity of bassist Erica Missey kept rhythm-to-lead-riffs clear, full, and consistent . . . " -- Ray Calderon, featured in the San Antonio Music Business Expo
". . . Monkeysoop . . . had no trouble with the job of warming up fans. These guys had a great tone and a great stage show that got the blood flowing . . . " -- Luis Matos

2007 COUNTERCLOCKWISE CD
"Instrumental Progressive Rock with roots deeply in the 70s, very much guitar based and quite complicated at times . . . the 3-piece band is surely influenced by RUSH, but yet have an own identity . . . it’s a sort of trip or adventure from start to finish with all the tracks forming one big track together. Fans of instrumental progrock should check this out . . . " Strutter Magazine, the Netherlands
2004 DEBUT CD
". . . a brand of instrumental rock that runs the gamut from the fleet-fingered flurries delivered by the likes of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani to a more playful pop approach. . . features plenty of instro-jam action, enough guitar notes to satisfy most six-string fanatics . . ." Jim Beal, San Antonio Express News Weekender
"The Monkeysoop blend includes furious, polyrhythmic, progressive metal and a more appetizing version of 'new age.' . . . reminiscent of heavy metal circus music. " - Darren, SA Rocks
" . . . (Monkeysoop) lets it all hang out with fat metallic assaults, linear cascades, wall-of-sound embellishments, and shrednik bombast. The title track showcases flipped-out, speedy fret runs and plenty of notes . . . " - Guitar 9
" . . . good clean quality instrumental hardrock . . . for people into the instrumental sounds of Rush . . . " - Strutter Magazine, the Netherlands
"Instrumental and experimental. The debut album from Monkeysoop is like Joe Satriani meets John McLaughlin. It's a must have for any music fan." -- Amazon.com Editorial Review
