Monkey Puzzle (Scottish band)
Monkey Puzzle are a Scottish rap metal band from Glasgow, United Kingdom.

History 
Monkey Puzzle formed in 2011 and the band released their debut EP, Suck Macaque, in late 2015. The band toured with international acts associated with the genre such as Hed PE, DJ Lethal, Senser and Snot. In 2017, Monkey Puzzle performed as the opening act at Wildfire Festival, and also toured Ireland alongside metalcore band Dream Awake.

Monkey Puzzle's second EP, Scum, was released in late 2021. The EP received positive reviews.

Musical style and influences 
The Moshville Times describe Monkey Puzzle's sound as "Limp Bizkit [if they] had been raised in the Gorbals and developed an actual sense of humour to deal with the day to day issues of being robbed by heroin-addicted rats". Vocalist Conor Moore considers Monkey Puzzle to be a nu metal band, rejecting the more common label of alternative metal, and cites Jared Gomes, Chino Moreno, Cypress Hill and Insane Clown Posse as vocal influences.
