MONUMENT

Everyone knows New York City has long been a hotbed for discovering up-and-coming artists of all genres. And in an unforgiving scene that has been responsible for producing (and destroying) innumerable bands, MONUMENT has been fortunate enough to develop an ardent fan-base amid the often overwhelming buzz and activity of the city. With their dramatic, infectious live show and warm, ethereal musical backdrop the band has found a place – both geographically and sonically – it can call home.
MONUMENT is the musical construct of four individuals who have come together in pursuit of creation, destruction and re-creation. MONUMENT has found a common plane of expression that provides a platform for the dissemination of their darkest fears and quietest secrets. The sound the band has crafted is a delicate m..lange that may best be described as “self-conscious arena-rock.” MONUMENT mixes deeply vivid lyrics and melodies with compelling and powerful instrumental soundscapes that underscore a vast range of human emotion as well as represent the dynamic world in which we live. These are the swoops and swirls that make up the signature sounds of MONUMENT.
Since recording their first demo EP in March of 2005, MONUMENT has circulated hundreds of copies by touring throughout the Northeast while creating a warm, home fan-base in the New York/New Jersey area. Based on the material on this EP and the charisma and charm of their live show, MONUMENT joined the XOXO Records family toward the end of 2005.
MONUMENT's forthcoming debut LP is arriving May 29th, 2007 care of XOXO Records
