[edit] History
The band formed around 2002 with brothers Travis and Weston Ripps and their friend Adam Jacobs. The band quickly became famous throughout Texas, and eventually throughout the USA.
On October 10, 2003 the band released their first full length studio album on an independent release called Green Apple Worms. The album received moderate play throughout the country, and cracked the Billboard 200 at number #190.
In 2003 the band performed in the Vans Warped Tour along with The Ataris, Rancid, Simple Plan, and Bowling for Soup.
The CD was also released on Apple iTunes Store and Napster. Four singles were released including "Rock in The Revolution" which received national radio airplay.
In 2004 in an online contest of 2,600 bands the Ernie Ball Company ranked Jumping Monks number 10.
Currently the band is planning to release a new album later in 2007.
