Post Apocalyptic Blues Rock
2020, Odd Zounds Records, Los Angeles, Ca

When Big Dave spent a month in a coma, his mind became unstuck in time. Upon waking, he told Alejandro and Vincent of his strangely vivid dreams: time travel, deals with devils, revolution, and regret across different planes of consciousness. When Big Dave could walk again they got to work, crafting songs that would become… 

DONKEY ISLAND PENITENTIARY!
Garage, punk and science fiction, filtered through the blues, while Big Dave growls about his nightmares. Big Dave, Alejandro and Vincent were wrongfully convicted of crimes they definitely committed. They promptly escaped, and now hide out in the Los Angeles Underground as a harmonica driven rock & roll band. A record of their escape, their previous crimes, and Big Dave’s hallucinations while doing time in the hole has been discovered. They’ve crafted their songs in secret. Now is the time for their escape! 

The Fugitives from DIP have always supported wearing masks in public; first for anti-surveillance, and now for health.

Matthew Speer of Ear Nutrition says of "Who's The Monster?"
‘Who’s The Monster’ enters on Garage Punk riffs following a determined Harmonica onto deep, brooding slowed-Punk bass. Vocally, it opts for a Blues meets Classic Rock approach as Donkey Island Penitentiary shuffle around their influences. The band’s Punk bite is subtly placed.
