Better Way To Go (Independently released CD, Pop)
Brand new classic pop that you've never heard before. If you like smooth catchy credible guitar-driven pop, you're gonna dig the sound of the tracks on Better Way To Go. The album features thirteen songs that sound incredibly familiar and yet they're brand new original compositions. Mad Monk Squad is the duo of John DiMattei (songwriter, vocalist, founder, multi-instrumentalist) and Dave Mallen (lead guitar, backing vocals, bass, keyboards, drums, percussion). These songs have that certain something that makes it almost impossible to resist playing them over and over again. So many underground musicians make music that is either extremely strange or, at times, unlistenable. This music has a great deal of commercial appeal and yet it bears almost no resemblance to the dreck that most American listen to. We can hear traces of a whole host of other artists here including (but not limited to) The Records, The Shoes, Fountains of Wayne, early Rick Springfield, and more. Recorded at Dave Mallen's Innovation Station studio in Annandale, Virginia, this album has just the right amount of polish without ever sounding overproduced. All of these tracks are great, but our initial favorites include "Dorianne," "Riding the A," "Better Way To Go," and "You Will Love Again."
