Monsters
The Hunch
1991 Exactly when MAINSTREAM TEKNO took over the whole world and on the other hand GRUNGE and HEROIN GROOVE oriented PUNK ROCK kicked in THE MONSTERS released thier 2nd Studio Album the Hunch (a tribute title to HASIL ADKINS), everybody told them to make good recordings no TRASH CRAP so they thought to do a proper production and went to a good recording studio to have a fat sound (for the 1st and last time)... Anyway, the studio was way to expensive for poor TEENAGE PUNK ROCKERS The Monsters so they only could afford recording one side of the record professionally, the 2nd side they recorded LIVE with Sam from THE RADIOATIONS and Jimi Ochsenbein at a gig they did in 1991 at the ISC CLUB in Bern, their home town. That record was a commercial success for the band and set them on the music map of the music world, the album got licensed and some songs released on other labels as well.. for example the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" got released by DIONYSUS RECORDS in LOS ANGELES and they called their style of music GRUNGEABILLY.
