The last time the gnarly Tel Aviv rockers of Monotonix made it to the States on tour, they packed in a little more than the usual shows and burritos and sleeping on floors. They met up with the folks at Drag City, who'll release Body Language, a new EP recorded in San Francisco by the Fucking Champs' Tim Green during the same trip abroad.

Drag City will release the Body Language disc April 22, just as Monotonix are about to wrap the truly gargantuan North American tour they'll embark on later this month. First, however, they have a few gigs around Israel.

In other Monotonix news, their entry in the Volcom singles club-- a split 7" with RTX-- is due in June.

Body Language EP:
