The Blow Monkeys

Musical Group

The Blow Monkeys are an English pop/sophisti-pop band formed in 1981, led by singer-songwriter Dr Robert. They had commercial success in the 1980s and reformed in 2007.

Frontman is known as Dr Robert (Robert Howard). The band is associated with 1980s British sophisti-pop and had notable albums including Animal Magic and Limping for a Generation.

A DeBaser review by marcoroma praises Feels Like a New Morning as inspired and masterfully played. The reviewer highlights the tracks "Cover Me" and "Chained" as standouts. The newer album If Not Now, When? is described as sloppy and overly retro. Overall reaction is mixed, nostalgic for the earlier work.

For:Fans of 1980s British pop and sophisti-pop; readers interested in album reviews and the Blow Monkeys' catalog.

 As a fan of Doc Robert's band from day one (1984), I welcomed with genuine enthusiasm a commendable, inspired work, masterfully played and orchestrated.
