From: Florida
Sounds like: Rock/Pop Punk
1. How did you get started with music and how did you develop your sound? How did the name "Trip the Monkey" come about and is there any meaning to it?
Our sound is completely organic. We all come from different musical backgrounds and have different influences. Our styles combine to form our sound. We felt that the name Trip the Monkey was the perfect name for our style of music, which is based on the anti-PC culture.
2. What do you want people to take away from your music?
We hope that our stories and melodies connect with them on a personal level and take them on an adventure.
3. How would you describe your sound to the average listener?
We are high-energy with an original Pop Punk sound. We write songs about love, loss, and awkward situations that people can identify with.
4. Who are three bands you’d like to tour with?
Green Day, The Offspring, and Blink 182.
5. What's your thoughts on AI generated music?
Nope. We play all of our instruments. We believe that AI music is fake, and we want no part of it.
6. What’s your take on the current state of Rock?
We see the resurgence of Punk and Pop Punk in our modern society and are optimistic for the future of Rock music.
7. What’s the current music scene like there in Florida?
The Florida music scene is on fire right now. There are great bands everywhere that are playing live shows. We have been very lucky to play with some of the best.
8. What’s your take on the royalties that streaming services pay out to artists?
What royalties? The music industry has eliminated royalties from streaming services to artists unless your name rhymes with Shmaylor Shmift
9. What’s next for Trip the Monkey?
Sleep, drink, and play music. We are currently playing shows all over the state of Florida. We plan to do a national tour in the summer of 2025.
