Monk & Canatella is an indie/breakbeat musical group from Bristol, England, formed by Simon Russell and Jim Johnston in the mid-nineties. Their 1996 album on Cup Of Tea Records, Care in the Community, is a prime example of the trip-hop sound.

The band later moved to Telstar and released a second album Do Community Service in 2000. The artwork for this album was an early collaboration with the Bristol born graffiti artist Banksy. ^[1] The band parted company with the label shortly afterwards.

The band released the single "Straighthead" on Youtube on December 23, 2007. Monk and Canatella are currently working on a new album due for release in 2009.^[2]

Trip-hop band Portishead included a track titled "A Tribute to Monk and Canatella" on their 1995 CD single "Sour Times (Nobody Loves Me.)"
