There is no confusing sugarmonkey's sound with any other UK band and their live performances from their London shows and UK tours have received great write-ups. Their "stadium rock" sound doesn't just fill their venues, it crams them with energy, passion and raucous rock tunes. Sugarmonkey's signature brand of indie rock,which combines the edgiest of British and American rock with a world of other influences, has attracted a dedicated following and a deluge of celebratory reviews. The band, made up of South African singer/guitarist Jo Edwards, Aussie guitarist Chris Coutts, and Brits Ben Gibson on bass and drummer Dave Rees, were tipped by NME who claimed "there's a spot at Glasto with their name on it". Their first demo was hailed by Hit Sheet ("we expect to hear them playlisted before too long"), and following the release of their first single GRTR! declared “this band could be snapping at the heels of their more established contemporaries”. Even The Sun (referencing their simian moniker) were confident that they “might not yet have enjoyed the same success as their monkey rivals but the rock group have plenty to crow about”. Their second single "Welcome to My Life" is recieving rave reviews and has been played by both Steve Lamacq and Bob Harris on Radio 2 as well as being playlisted on several regional radio stations.
