About Me

A new band hails from South Africa... we are known only as MUNK. We started it all a few months ago when Yuri Zager returned from London, UK where he was performing as a solo artist, after his work with Ashen as a frontman a few years before. He met up with a talented lead guitarist named Darren, famous from his work on Jo Day BAND's first 3 albums. Later the addition of our bassist Joe sealed and defined the style of hard rock/metal that will forever be known as MUNK. Joe played in numerous bands including the famous Durban based band Dementia. Finally we completed our line-up recently with James who is an exceptional drummer with a wealth of experience and talent. Genre does not define our music, it is a fusion of different types of metal, punk, rock, hard rock and other genres too.

Our signiture song on this page is currently Disorder, you can read all the Garageband reviews for this song by clicking here . So far we've won 2 awards for the song already and constantly moving up the charts. It is still not fully mastered but should give you an idea of what Disorder should sound like on our upcoming album.

The other three songs that you can hear on this page are the very early home recorded demo versions of the songs we are working on with synth drums. Please do not judge the quality of the song writing by the quality of these recordings as these are just very early previews for you all to get an idea of where we are going musically.

We have put this page up for all of you who like our music - to see us go from scratch to success. We would like you all to follow and live through the process with us. Please visit the page often for updates because new songs/demos and photos will be uploaded frequently. We would also like all of your feedback because it really counts and please tell all your friends about us.


More updates to follow soon.......
