As a reaction to their debut album, Midwich Cuckoos cemented a permanent line up, honed their live shows & went into the studio to refine their identity. However, 2020’s events had something different in mind. To keep creative, the band released a series of acoustic renditions to keep spirits up.

Monkey Fighters

Queens of the Stone Age meets Muse meets Faith No More nods politely to The Wildhearts shakes hands with Soundgarden punches Bieber in the snoot. We mix big guitar riffs and prog keyboards with punk energy and top it off with quirkily epic vocals.
