In September, Stony Plain Records released All Frequencies, the new CD from Ottawa-based blues/roots rockers MonkeyJunk. Comprised of Steve Marriner (vocals, harmonica, keyboards, baritone guitar), Tony D (lead guitar, background vocals) and Matt Sobb (drums, percussion, background vocals), MonkeyJunk plays a mix of swamp blues and funky roots rock ‘n’ roll. Produced by Steve Marriner and Ken Friesen (Blue Rodeo, The Tragically Hip), the new album includes nine original songs, plus a scorching version of the Bobby Charles classic, "Why Are People Like That?" For the uninitiated, the band takes its name from a chance remark by legendary bluesman Son House: "I’m talkin’ ‘bout the blues. I ain’t talkin’ about monkey junk."
