In the liner notes to the 100% cover song release Ten Cool Ones, the listener is told to just "shut up and have fun," and that's a pretty good description of the Mono Men and their approach to music. Lots of distortion, power chords, shouted/sung vocals: in other words, undistilled punk power. The group's main influence is the legendary proto-punk rockers MC5, as evidenced in a barnstorming cover of the 5's "Kick Out the Jams" that launches the album. Whereas it's unclear if fellow drink-rock labelmates Prisonshake actually do consume, the Mono Men confirm their vice on the back cover of Ten Cool Ones (all members are seen clutching their bottles of brew happily). "Hey Little Bird" would have sounded right at home on the Dead Boys' classic debut Young, Loud, and Snotty, as singer/guitarist John Mortensen sounds almost exactly like Dead Boys singer Stiv Bators. The group also pulls out a fun cover of Link Wray's squawking instrumental "Run Chicken Run," and hits you down low with the repetitive bass-heavy riffing of "As for Tomorrow." In many ways, the Mono Men's Ten Cool Ones is the ultimate punk rock party. For fans of the raucous sound and approach of the MC5, Mudhoney, and other punkers, this release is highly recommended. ~ Greg Prato

Unknown Contributor Roles: The Dog; The Ledge.Alternative Press (2/97, p.65) - 4 (out of 5) - "...the Mono Men...attack the cover-album concept smartly: Go for unknown songs--but if you do go for the known, aim for spirit rather than for details....they aim to capture the original songs' natural fire, and they largely succeed..."
Option (1-2/97, p.96) - "...a garage rock band that doesn't give a damn about sounding like their garage rock forefathers....they don't try to recreate 1966....The Mono Men also don't pray at the altar of amateurism like some of their pals; their guitars are tuned, they know how to use them..."

1983's HARD found drummer Hugo Burnham replaced by a drum machine. Additionally, the album's production substituted the band's previous angularity for a lush, polished sound augmented by backing singers and synthesizers, which longtime fans found hard to take. But both "Is It Love" and "Womantown" have a smoky mystery, while "A Man With a Good Car" is an energetic backward glance at the band's post-punk roots.

| | Miaow When It All Comes Down CD (2003) Import
Ten Cool Ones album
$14.29
Miaow is one of those curious groups whose mystique and influential sway greatly overshadowed their meager recorded output. Between 1985-1987, the band contributed "Sport Most Royal" to NME's original C-86 compilation, recorded two sessions with legendary British DJ John Peel, and released an unforgettable single on Factory Records. If these feats don't solidify Miaow's ...

Compilation of 30 rare girl-group tunes, almost all from the early and mid-'60s, though a couple from the late '60s sneak in. Truth to tell, this is an inoffensive but hardly inspiring compilation of a genre that produced innumerable great records, both famous and obscure. The two famous cuts -- Claudine Clark's "Party Lights" and The Donays' "Devil In His Heart" (covered by The Beatles on their second album) -- are readily available ...

STRETCHIN' OUT IN BOOTSY'S RUBBER BAND marked the solo debut of one of the most delectably eclectic characters in music history. On his coming out, Parliament/Funkadelic bassist William "Bootsy" Collins unfurls funky grooves with energy to match the flash of his everpresent costumes.
