Spank The Monkey

There's a certain energy that comes from music made without permission, a raw pulse that exists outside the usual channels. Spank The Monkey captures that feeling directly from the source, brought to you by the collective known as Riot in Progress. This isn't a polished studio tour or a series of interviews about gear; it's an immersion into the sounds that fuel underground scenes and DIY spaces. Each episode functions like a curated transmission, a batch of tracks and live cuts that embody a spirit of creative independence. You'll hear the unvarnished work of artists who operate on their own terms, where the focus is squarely on the vitality of the music itself. Tuning into this podcast means accessing a stream of audio that prioritizes expression over industry, often featuring material you're unlikely to encounter anywhere else. The selections from Riot in Progress have a specific texture and intent, favoring the immediate and the experimental. It's for those moments when you want your listening experience to feel like a discovery, a direct line to something being forged in the moment. The rhythm here is irregular, the melodies might be rough-edged, but the commitment to authentic, unmediated sound is constant. Consider Spank The Monkey your irregular dispatch from the edges where new sounds are born and shared without filter.
