"Jolly Mon is an example of and to all bands who are, and should be, themselves! While other bands are listening with their ears glued to the radio for bits and pieces of "new" material, Jolly Mon is remolding music into something that has never been heard before. So many locals get compared to Alice In Chains, Tool and The Cherry Popin' Daddies, and rightfully so - so many locals emulate the style of these greats in hopes of capturing the last 15 minutes of their twylight in stardum. Jolly Mon sets their own rules capturing a melodic, yet hard hitting groove that one may become lost in. The music of "Nobody Knows..." is mostly of the "Acid Rock" denomonation which draws long, spacy melodies along side tightly compressed base riffs and vocals so in key that it is as if the voice is just another instrument. No gimmics, no hype and no ill-fated attempts at saying something overly profound. Just a good band."
