Debut album, “Chameleon Tongue”, out on April 15th!
Hailing from the Capo Comino Dunes Bay, Mano De Mono took its shape from an early project of Athos Cherchi and Marco “Buzz” Murru. The drummer Keko Magrini and the guitarist Kiko De Santis were called up in 2019 to complete the lineup and proceed with the original songs and their arrangements. The band name was borrowed from the Corrosion of Conformity song “Mano De Mono” as well as the short horror story “Monkey’s Paw” ( AKA “La pata de mono”) by William Wymark Jacobs. Sonically, Mano De Mono conveys the fuzziness of the late ‘90s Palm Desert Scene, the aggression of NOLA, the expressiveness of Seattle’s first wave, and a punk spirit with vibrancy, melody, and harmony.
After the “Sons of Barabba” live session video release in Feb 2021, the Sardinian quartet soon started producing their debut studio album, Chameleon Tongue. Slathered in stoner, grunge, and ‘90s alternative rock/metal, the record is a collection of infectious rancid numbers with no shortage of yell-along choruses. No ill-fated experience awaits here, unlike the story by W.W. Jacobs, as Mano De Mono ensures an unforgettable full-bodied down-tempo festivity.
