After years of silence, Thelonious Monster released their new album 'Oh That Monster'.

The band says that 'Oh That Monster' may be their best record ever as Thelonious Monster found the same passion in creating tracks as they did in 1984 when they first started. The album was recorded by frontman and lead singer Bob Forrest, Chris Handsome, Dix Denney on guitar, Martyn LeNoble on bass guitar and Pete Weiss on drums.

Bob Forrest about ´Oh That Monster´: “We all worked really hard. We are familiar with what it takes to be good. Make a great record. And we did it. I think we made maybe our best record ever. At 60 years old! Some of us decades out of playing music. I am so proud of what we did. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Full circle as they say. Still angry. Still hurt. Still mad to laugh. Mad for living. We made this album. And it is us.”

Recently the band released their single ‘Buy Another Gun’. Its the song that anchors 'Oh That Monster'. It addresses that what all American parents deal with, Bob Forrest explains: “How do we keep our kids safe from this hateful murderous madness that American schools have become. A school shooting seemingly every week all across the country. 

Arm our teachers? Bulletproof backpacks. The insanity of the conversations parents are having is unfathomable. But that's what parents in America are talking about! The song shares the hate and the hope I feel about the safety for my children. For myself. And for what I believe is the beginning of a fallen empire.”
