         "[LATCHKEY PUNK] Punk's influence on young bands has had highs and lows, particularly when it was treated as a Top 40 commodity in the wake of Blink 182's 'pop punk' garbage and the ensuing rush of preppies learning power chords. But the high school-age bands on this bill- particularly Monster Size Monsters- prove that the kids are, indeed, 'alright.' Each group of young whippersnappers has the angst and feel of old-school screaming punk down pat, proving that wherever there are kids, hormones and angst, punk will always thrive."

Excerpt from article: "To MSM's benefit, the lo-fi grungy style of "Evolving to Death," from the band's self-titled full length, is a favorite of drunken rowdies in packed basements. It falls somewhere between dancey, grungy and angry, which is a wide enough scope to....."

This is a press article that mentions Monster-Sized Monsters when we played at City Hall on April 18th, 2007. We are briefly mentioned in the begining, but the article got it wrong! It was Monster-Sized Monsters who had the mosh pit, not Hurah Hurah. Click Away!

2007 (March 27) @ Voodoo Doughnuts
"MSM LIVE @ VD 3.22.2007
     When I walked into Voodoo Doughnuts, there was NO FUCKING ROOM. The band was perched up on a tiny stage that must have been 10' X 6', if that!
     Packed with fans, (well as packed as VD can get with it's whole 100 square foot of floorspace) I pitied the unknowing donut fiends who happened to wander in for their late-night fix, though they were in for a treat as the band was rocking the fuck out full throttle despite their cramped quarters.
     I think I witnessed, (and participated in) the first mosh pit inside Voodoo Doughnuts. FUCK YEAH!
     All things said, it was a great show and I am looking foreward to playing a show with the Monsters as soon as possible!"

Self Titled 2006 Album Lyrics
Category: Music

1. Missing In Action
she's missing in action x4 // oh no where could she be // where has she gone where could she be
im coming as you're leaving // how fast is your heart beating
i miss you, i miss you // come back and see me
m-i-a missing in action girl x2

Listen Up:
I don't have anything to say to you // and you dont' have anything to say to me
sometimes you just gotta stop talking // in order to be heard // so listen up!
opinions and advertising // i can't tell who's lying
political agendas and things to do // everybody's shouting at you
so quiet down... // and listen up!
I don't have anything to say to you // and you dont' have anything to say to me When i stop talking will you listen to me? // so listen up!
Quiet down and listen up

Cooler Than Jesus:
i'd make a good fucking president // i'd fund things that make sense
like keeping everyone alive and well // not killing them overseas
id make more jail space // by sending out murderers and rapists
to fight our wars and die for us // killing is killing even if it's for the US
We don't want your fucking excuses // shut up and listen we're cooler than jesus
not one black president // not one gay president
not one girl president // not one girl president
we can fight and we can die // before we can even drink
this country has obviously // got it's priorities straight i think
it make me so fucking sick // you buy your big SUVs and shit
for reasons you hate to admit // just compensating for your too small dick
this is just a country full of murder // this is just a country full of crime
this is just a country full of mistrust // this is just a country full of lies
fuck this fuck this fuck this fuck this // fuck this shit im moving to Canada

Five Days:
(Lyrics Unavailable)

Evolving to Death:
We've come a long way since the dinosuars // We've come a long way since rocks and clubs // We've come a long way since arrows and sticks // We've come a long way since sun baked bricks // We've come a long way since black and white // We've come a long way since the wooden bridge // We've come a long way since empty space // Now we're putting everything at stake
I'm not ready for the end of the world (x2)
I don't want to be a synthetic girl
I'm not ready for the end of the world
We've come a long way since fresh air // We've come a long way since clean water // good thing art's no longer "real" education // we wouldn't want to // encourage self expression // It's a good thing we have technology // Or we might have to use our own memories // blindly living one step foreword two steps back
atleast we're prepared for alien attack
We've come a long way since real hearts // Just stick a piece of metal in your chest // Doesn't matter if you're part robot // Just stay alive it will do the rest // Filled with plastic pumped with metal // Buy your self a better body // Can you even be called human // Where do you draw the line
In the end there'll be nothing left but // Ten billion half robots starving to death
They are tearing our world apart // just leave it to the kids to figure it out // We're not going to keep living and dying // We're going to end up blowing ourselves up // A man-made apocylipse // We're going to evolve to our death

Something To Fight For:
I want to hold you tight I want to touch your hair // I love you so much I could strangle you // I want to dress you up I want to dress you down
I want to show you a good time in this town // I want a cause to get upset about
I want my life to have more meaning // cause every chord's been done
every song's been sung // and TV just gets fucking boring
there's nothing to do but break the law // and sing the same fucking songs
like a thorn in your side like a strong hard drive // you just want to be part of something bigger than you, bigger than you
Blame us for your problems // blame us for your crimes // blame us for everything that goes wrong // then tax us for your time // but we're just looking for something to fight for // we're just looking for something to fight for // we're just looking for something to fight for // not just looking for a fight
You fucked up once you fucked up twice // light from the street tints cigarette smoke pink // she'll tell every one tomorrow her // ego's too big for one person to handle // talk down to me talk down to them // so this is how you treat your friends // they're not wrong they're just like you // they're just looking for something to fight for (x3)

No More:
i never thought i'd see the day // you'd turn my tear-stained face away
as you walk right through that door // my heart beats slower and slower
i can't stand that everything // we've been through doesn't mean a thing
since the day you walked away // right down that corridor
ever since all the yellin' was done // and we both had had our fun
i've felt like dying // every time i think of you
i think things could have been better // if i hadn't written that letter
and if you hadn't done // all those things you did
and perhaps the worst of all // my heart beat only for you
you were my inspiration // i cant think no more
i never thought i'd see the day // you'd turn my tear-stained face away
as you walk right through that door // my heart beats no more

Severed Limb:
youre like a severed limb to me // i dont need you to help me see
i dont need you to help me hear // i dont need you to help me breathe
i just need you to help me //
feel feel alright feel feel alright without you i couldnt deal tonight i need you to make me feel alright //
i kinda like the way you talk // id even call you a fox
we're going to keep on trying to play // were going to be beautiful some day
i just need you to help me //
youre like a severed limb to me // i dont need you to help me see
i dont need you to help me hear // i dont need you to help me breathe
i just need you to help me

Fireflies:
Just take that knife, just take it // Just twist that knife, just twist it
Just do it now, I can't stand to see your face anymore
A manual heart attack // Stab stab me in the back
'Till I'm withered and dead here on the kitchen floor
Just take my heart just take it // Just break my heart just brake it
Look what you've done to me, I can't live anymore
I won't deny it anymore, I'm not a child anymore
I'm not as niave as I used to be but
I bet this is what it's like to feel dead (x3)
It can't be much worse than this
I took your lies, I took them //I took your eyes and shook them
I can't believe I trusted you
Pour the salt just pour it // Into the wound just pour it
I know this is the part that you enjoy the most
Just take my heart just take it // Just break my heart just break it
leave me alone so I can watch the fireflies burn
laying here on the cold floor, blood slipping under the door
mind pumping heart racing, an explination is all im chasing
is this worth dying for, is this worth dying for
is this worth dying for, this ain't worth dying for

Coming to an End:
Sometimes you work so hard for something you love, and when you loose it it's like a bullet to your chest, i wouldn't know what that would feel like, but i could make a good guess. Things are going to change they're not how they were, i should have seen it coming i should have seen it coming. You couldn't keep a hold on what you started, so you're leaving everything everything.
this isn't a war this isn't you're call
this is you're fault this is you're fault
i think we're done i think it's all over
i think you're gone i think that i'm sober
i think you're gone i think it's all over
i think you're gone i think you're gone
i've watched you come i've watched you go, i've taught you everything you know, if you walk away you cant come back, so think this through do you really want that? so fake you're flowers fake your heart attacks, fake you're face fake calling me back. You couldn't keep a hold on what you started, so you're leaving everything everything.
you were so much cooler when you didn't know you were cool
now your ego's fuller and i can see right through you
you're trying so hard to look like you're not even trying
you were so much cooler when you didn't know you were cool
this is the tension building this is everything coming to an end
this is the screaming rising this is the world coming to an end
forget the books forget the rules we're fighting tooth and claw
if this is the end of us then this is the world coming to an end
