MONKEYFELLOW is one of the most good bands to create hardcore today. They have 7" coming out soon on CONE RECORDS. The 7" I have heard it, it is great! It has that true old school hxc spirit! I interview the singer YANNICK for my blog and fanzine. Please look at the interview now.
Hello YANNICK tell me the history of MONKEYFELLOW
MONKEYFELLOW was begin by me. I am Yannick. It was also begin by my friends Marcel, Posi Hans, and Werner. When we first begin the band it was called Simple Youth but when we try to send distro in US tapes he say that the name in america means a kid with disable so we change the name but we still have song name simple youth for the memory of the old name. When we change the name and record the 7" we also change the lineup and Fritz join on Guitar 2.
Before Fritz join, you had another guitar player, Fabio, what happen to him?
Fabio is a fucking shit! He is a bastard! He lose the spirit of straightXedge and he drink beer and smoke drugs and insult all that straightXedge mean to us. Some other member of the band are still his friend but i am not friend with him. He betray his conviction. The song "Still has the spirit" on our 7" is about how marcel posi hans werner and me still has the spirit but he does not still has the spirit.
is that the same fabio who play in Mega Strength?
No fabio from mega strength is still my friend he still have the spirit of the straight edge. this is a different fabio.

4 years! Vegetarian for life!
how did you become vegetarian?
i stop eating hamburger and other meats

What other 2018 band do you want to play a show with?
I really want to play with AIDS CRIMINAL, and MEGA STRENGTH. Lucky for me both are performing in the CONE RECORDS showcase along our side in a few month. It will be our first time in Germany to play. I hope it is fun because germany hxc kids all have the spirit!
They have something yes
What do you mean
it was a joke trick I am just joking! We most certain have the spirit of hxc. Who do the artwork for the 7"?
Posi Hans did the artwork! there were no live picture of us to use so we just use a picture of mainstrike instead because this is our favorite band and our greatest influences.
What song do you want to cover the most?
I want to cover GORILLA BISCUITS but nobody else in the band had learn it in time for our last show so we cover MINDSET again instead. Maybe at the CONE RECORDS SHOWCASE we can cover Gorilla Biscuits...
What do the name MONKEYFELLOW means?
It is a joke among us. It is similar to gorilla biscuits, like a monkey and then a thing. First it was to be name MONKEYSNACK when we first change it from simple youth but we think that was too close to gorilla biscuits. Also MONKEYFELLOW is a joke upon the way our crew dance at shows in zurich! We go crazy like an ape!
Any last word or shout outs?
Yes!
