Monument is the best band in Washington, DC right now. You may not argue this, because this would make you incorrect.
Monument - A 3 Song 7"
--- Code: ---http://www.mediafire.com/?zmkmiztr1ij
--- End code ---
These guys seem to be starting to get some internet recognition so I figured I'd post their seven inch up here. Anyway, this is a mandatory download for Michael, Christophe, Sam (thanks for showing me them again!), and anyone else who is fucking obsessed with the Kinsella family. It's also mandatory for Johnny C, since they shout Get Rad in their second song. As you have probably guessed, Monument plays that good ol' midwestern emo/indie rock/cap'n jazz style music. And they fucking nail it. From the first moment the needle hits the record until you realize oh shit its over I'm scratching up the serial code you will be jumping around your room giggling like a fool singing at the top of your lungs. And thats just on record. Monument pulls each note and chord with so much energy you simply feel overwhelmed with joy. If you are even remotely into the recent resurgence of indie/emo in the vein of Algernon Cadwallader this 7" is a must. If Monument ever comes to your town drop everything and see them. They are incredible.
www.myspace.com/monumentisaband Please buy this 7" too. It only costs 5 dollars (four at a show, but they have only played around DC). They are charging mega cheap for it just so people like you can hear them! Its true I talked to them about it. They are mega nice dudes too!

--- Quote ---This is one of those little releases that slipped under nearly every (including mine) radar in late 2003. It's one of those discs that I expected to enjoy a little bit, given the few reviews that I'd read on it, but it not only surprised me, but has found such regular rotation in my CD player that I'm already considering revising my year-end list to include it. Created by Joseph Grimm and Jeff Smith, Whips is a loosely-conceptual album about the disolution of a long-term relationship and the subsequent despair, longing, and loneliness that comes afterwards.
That said, one might suspect that an album about such a turn of events to be heavy-handed or even overbearing, but it's just the opposite. Blending sonics that sound like a mixture between Stars Of The Lid, 1 Mile North, and even Dirty Three, the group finds just the right blend of melancholy and hope over the course of 8 tracks and 45 minutes.

Wicked. I really liked their earlier demos. I checked them out when you mentioned them in some other thread. I think I might order this. I have been on a bit of a 7" buying kick lately.
