Year of the Monkey

Year of the Monkey is an eclectic trio based in the Netherlands, known for blending domesticated punk anthems, pop crooners, danceable doo-wops, and even hints of rock ‘n’ roll. With a sound that’s as diverse as it is distinctive, the band channels raw emotion into songs that are both deeply personal and fiercely energetic.

Whether it’s an open outcry to save the planet or a not-so-subtle discourse on watching our loved ones fade away, Year of the Monkey blends the mundane with the weird—offering something close to a religious experience that even zealots can’t get enough of. Currently recording their debut full-length album, the band is preparing to launch on Spotify and bring their unique energy to stages across Europe.
