Free Full-Length Album from Uncle Monsterface (sock-puppet rock band)

Sock-puppet rockers Uncle Monsterface have released their second full-length titled This is an Adventure! as a free download and it is full of wonderful surprises including mashed potatoes battling vampires, a tribute to the creator of Dungeons and Dragons, and robots saving the world from a giant zombie attack.

The band departs from their new wave sound of letter green (i love you) and heads into a more rock/estranged power-pop direction all while keeping their original sound intact. Uncle Monsterface could be described as playful, rebellious, nostalgic, and dare I say it, downright geeky. If you are a fan of bands such as They Might Be Giants, Oingo Boingo, The Aquabats, and other bands that challenged audiences by making music about unusual, humorous and strange subjects, you'll love these guys.

Highlights of This is an Adventure include "Kill Your Boyfriend!" with a ska-tastic trombone, the rock epic "Robot Quest", and "The Ballad of Broccoli Homonculus" which carries some heavy Danny Elfman undertones. All of the other songs are great as well including the tiny 10 second blips that say "You received the adventurer's scuba set" and "Oh no. You have been eaten by a chinchilla. Continue?" in lieu of old PC adventure games from the early 90's and 80's.

This is an Adventure! is available as a free download for the rest of the week. You can download it here.

Uncle Monsterface will be coming to Portland, ME with Harry and the Potters and Math the Band at SPACE on June 26th .
