Review of The Free Monks

The Free Monks rule! This group is another example of two worlds living side by side in harmony. The members are not your typical set of people. They define cool in a way that is surprising and refreshing. The message of tolerance, positivity, and open-mindedness stays the same, but the medium is bound to change with time. But these guys make an effort to understand what it means to be young in this age and they do so with rock music. Rock music that actually you can listen to and not feel pressured to conform to given ideas.
This is why I love PRX; it gives wonderful pieces like this a home to find listeners.
