HOW FORMED:
Mark Arm and Steve Turner of Mudhoney met with Tim Kerr and told him how much they liked his band, Posion 13. At the time, Posion 13 had a batch of unrecorded songs. Kerr invited Arm and Turner to collaborate on on the unrecorded material and Monkeywrench was born.
“Monkeywrench sends up old desperadoes of every color hat, with both an ear for period-piece nuance and a roughshod, rebellious bravado that elevates this record above mere retro-slavish curiousity…the vocals yowl soulfully and the bandmates share a rascally gleam and wit… they pull of the 70s wah-wah mournful slide and tremoloed workouts with Link Wray’s ghost, all with improbable accuracy, while still maintaining an irrepressible personality.” – CMJ profil—>
