“FunkMnkyz from Washington, DC takes the Hip-Hop vocal outcry of the Rage Against the Machine model and morphs it into its own entity by adding a 311 style bass and Slayer-esque licks mixed with innovated guitar effects comparable to that of The Edge (U2).”

“Their live shows are loud and raucous and their sound is best described as a peaceful rampage, blasting out angry metal guitar on top of a plate of appetizing funk rock.”

“I caught a good bit of most of the bands on the local stage (HFStival 2011) throughout the afternoon...FunkMnkyz and Pasadena were the standouts for me.”

“Yes ladies and gentlemen, rap-rock still exists and we have found its champion.”

“Rather then combining two disparate for one crappy sound, Funkmnkyz worked through the sheer energetic charisma and entertaining rhymes of MCs Quest and Vice 17 and strong, funk-worthy instrumentation of ERoc, Steve Danger, and Infinite One.”
