Why do we like this?

Rare Monk grabbed my attention last year when they covered Bill Wither's "Ain't No Sunshine." That track has since racked up more than 175k SoundCloud plays — no small feat for a Portland-based indie rock band with less than 1.5k followers.

Rare Monk know how to create original music, too. "Warning Pulse," off the band's forthcoming, self-titled EP, is a jittery ballad that somehow also maintains a sense of calm. Rare Monk's live show perfectly encapsulates how the band revels in controlled chaos. Their brash set at San Francisco's Rickshaw Stop last week was nothing short of bewitching.

Catch Rare Monk playing live on October 20 at Los Angeles's Bootleg Theater. Fans can also pre-order the B3Sci Records-backed release on iTunes.
