The 420 Monks blend a variety of musical and
cultural influences to weave a sound, which
has a consistent groove to make the head the
spin. Crafting songs that are tight enough
to survive today's cutthroat radio
standards, yet giving honest lyrical
insight, the “Monks” are an island of
authenticity in a sea of triteness. Throw in
the high-octane force of their live show,
and it’s obvious that this band is

Brief history of each Monk:

As the front man for legendary rap-metal
pioneers Stuck Mojo (Century Media Records),
Bonz began by building a strong fan base in
the South. Following each “Mojo” release
(six-albums in all), that fan base grew from
regional to national to worldwide. Bonz
toured the world with some of rock’s elite
such as Pantera, Clutch, Sevendust,
Machinehead, and Type O Negative. With his
rapid-fire delivery, Bonz has crafted a
style of rapping that is all his own. He
formed the 420 Monks following Mojo’s
breakup as a means of expressing fully his
creative vision. With 420 Monks, Bonz has
truly come into his own, re-defining the
genre he helped create.

John B. (Guitar and Vocals)
Atlanta music scene mainstay John B (guitar)
adds an integral element to the band’s sound
and dynamics. John performed sessions at top
Atlanta studios including Too Short’s
“Oakland City Studios.” As a live performer
his previous projects Eracism and Society’s
Children (RCA) were certainly noteworthy in
their own right, it appears John has found
an ideal home with the 420 Monks. John’s
versatility with his instrument is
astounding, and his creative chemistry with
the Bonz is strong. He delivers powerful
harmonies and a unique approach to playing
guitar. When asked to describe himself, the
affable guitarist just grinned and said,
“Just tell them I’m really, really good.”

Craig Maule (Bass and Vocals)
The latest addition to the 420 Monks family
is bassist Craig Maule. On the national
circuit, Craig toured as bassist for Lifer
(Republic/Universal). Lifer toured in
support of their self-titled debut album
with Cold, Stereomud, Dope, Reveille,
Saliva, Switched, Darwin’s Waiting Room &
Nonpoint. Craig has also collaborated on
projects with Erik Rogers of Stereomud
(Loud/Columbia), Steve Seals and Dustin
Lowery of Ether Seeds (Roadrunner), Kelly
Hayes of Cold (Flip/Interscope) and Adam
Renshaw of The 45’s (Artemis). Never
deviating from the powerful foundation of
the rhythm section, Craig provides a thick
low-end to 420 Monks.

Carlos Torres (Drums and Vocals)
Puerto-Rican born drummer Carlos Torres has
made a reputation for himself in the Midwest
and Southeast. Carlos constantly toured the
states with Chum (Century Media). He also
played with regional acts; Dispute &
CutLoveKill. Other collaborations include
Scott Little of Leadfoot. His playing is
influenced by a variety of musical styles,
which incorporate to perfect 420 Monks’
sound. As the other half of the 420-rhythm
section, Carlos lays a tight-rhythmic
foundation for the band to feed off.

420 Monks have a style, which blends hip-hop
with rock, funk with metal, and metal with
new rock. The sound is fresh and the band is
always in demand

PMS was created in July 2000. We focus
mostly on metal/punk based genres. We like
to expose everyone to new underground bands
that don't get any publicity.
