Brothers Ben and Tom Page have worked together musically for the last 8 years. Through their richly varied musical experiences, the brothers conjure intense musical landscapes, with purely improvised sets allowing the music to follow its own course.

Products of Monkey Love

POML is not a real band in any sense, in fact, it's a podcast, FREE to download from itunes.
A radio style show where everything has been made by the Products of Monkey Love team. All the music has been improvised, some of the vocals are improvised as well (e.g Crocodile) and some have had vocals added on later (e.g The Dance Church), the chat is all impovised as well, that's why it's not always side splitingly funny, it's more incidental funny. We hope you enjoy our slice of cultural rubbish.
