The recent news that Montys Loco are packing it in isn't all that surprising, but it is a disappointment. The sad truth is that their dark clatter and direct, angry feminist posturing remains a difficult pill to swallow for many, leaving them forever damned to the fringes. Running up against that wall of adversity is exhausting and they gave their best. So here's to their legacy and let's hope that they both resurface with new music soon.
