For the best part of the 1980s, THE BLOW MONKEYS were bywords for soulful, stylish pop which combined panache, charisma and hook-laden melodies with intelligent, thought-provoking lyrics.
The band were fronted by singer and guitarist Robert Howard (alias Dr. Robert), whose striking good looks and undeniable songwriting talent rewarded the band with a strong of hit records (‘Digging Your Scene’, ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’, ‘Choice?’, etc.).
Hot on the heels of Cherry Red’s recent 2-CD reissues of their first two albums, THE BLOW MONKEYS release a brand new studio album on 1st April entitled FEELS LIKE A NEW MORNING, a superb collection of ten uplifting, intensely musical creations.
By way of a bonus for their fans, the package adds a second disc boasting unique and intimate solo performances of some Blow Monkeys classics by Dr. Robert on acoustic guitar.
