Few things get the blood pumping like walking around with MONA blasting in your headphones. I pity the fool that cuts in front of me on the sidewalk because I will literally air-guitar him into oblivion. I’m so stoked MONA is back. Dive into their new EP here.
♫ Mona – Lean Into The Fall (Piano Version)
Listen to “Lean Into The Fall” “Shooting The Moon” or “Listen To Your Love” & you know there is heart. And rock. And roll. Underrated magic.
[Quickies are mini-reviews that can fit into a 140 character tweet. They are of albums that people already know of but perhaps are curious about our take on it. What did you think of the disc?]

Mona have been gathering some blog buzz for a while now but if you missed them they are definitely worth your attention. First single “Listen To Your Love” is all melodic guitar shredding and throwback vocals that wrap around a raw rock song that is full of both swagger and heart.
