about: Hidden Volume Records presents The Hall Monitors, “Up To No Good” album. This long-awaited full length from these DC garage legends includes 14 sizzling cuts running the gamut from gut-bucket shouts to R&B rave ups and beyond. A well-regarded, high-energy live act some have deemed “bravado-infused R&B and snarling punk,” the band pays equal tributes to Chuck Berry, Chess Records, Johnny Thunders and any number of damaged iconoclasts from the American rock n’ roll graveyard. “Girls” is a primitive Stax-like plea, “She’s My Methadone” is hand-clapping bandstand pop and “Lord I’m a Sinner” is electric blues by way of CBGBs. It’s fun and you can dance to it. That’s all you need.

The Story Behind “Up To No Good” In 2006, The Hall Monitors became darlings of the garage rock scene with only a handful of shows under their belts and a couple home-made demos (two of which appear on THIS here record), eventually landing the band a coveted spot with Little Steven’s Wicked Cool Records. A year after being signed, with the label seeming to be in no rush to get them in the studio, and having never been paid, the band jumped ship, toured Europe, and hopped into legendary NY Hed studios with Matt Verta-Ray at the controls. By the time the album was mastered the star rhythm section of the Sullivan Bros had taken jobs halfway around the world leaving the band in the position of not being able to tour to support an album release, putting the record on hold—until now.
