KNOCK OUT MONKEY
A 4-piece rock band based out of Kobe.
KNOCK OUT MONKEY has established their unique sound by combining elements of Loud, Reggae, Hip-Hop, Metal, Emo, and Hardcore with their backbone of Melodic Punk. The 4-piece band plays high-energy shows all over the country.
KNOCK OUT MONKEY released a Tower Records limited edition single, “HOPE”, which spread throughout the rock scene by word of mouth. In April, they played PUNKSPRING2012 at Kobe World Memorial Hall, and put on a brilliant performance to a hometown crowd of 8000.
They went on to perform with MANAFEST (Canada) and as the support act for ANDREW W.K. (USA). These international performances have been broadening KNOCK OUT MONKEY’s fan base at a rapid pace.
