Hey Everyone,

It's been way too long since we've poked our heads out of the studio and updated everyone on what we're up to. We are just putting the finishing touches on our new CD, which is titled 'Sleep Well When You Get There'. It's a six song EP that we are going to be giving away for free download @ www.monumentmonument.com. Along with being available online, we will also be printing 500 limited edition copies of the CD for purchase. We've been kicking around ideas for this release for a long time, and decided that we'd rather give this away to everyone. This way the people who don't have the means to purchase it can acquire it . We are personally funding the cost of everything ourselves, as we have no label support. The recording costs along with the cost of hosting a website are starting to rack up. We sincerely need everyones help on this one to keep us going. We came up with the idea to make 500 actual copies available for purchase to help offset these costs. There are two ways you can obtain a copy:

First, We are having a CD release party on July 25, 2008 at The Shelter in our hometown of Detroit, MI. Doors are at 6PM and we are playing with our good friends Search The City and Fireworks. Everyone who attends will be given a copy of the limited edition CD for free. Tickets are $12 each and you can get them at any Ticketmaster or you can purchase them directly through us to avoid service charges at the link below.

Second, We are having a preorder for the remaining 250 copies of limited edition EP. We we're originally going to only make this available at our show but we wanted to give out-of-towners a chance to get a copy. This will be shipped out on 7/24/08 and costs $6.00 USD with free shipping to anywhere in the world. You can purchase the preorder at the link below:

If you are able to help us out by either attending the show, or preordering the CD it will help us tremendously. We've been a band for almost 4 years now and we've all made this the first priority in our lives. We're sure as most of you know, the music industry is in a rough spot right now. It's becoming harder and harder for bands like us to survive and the cost of gas makes it extremely hard to tour without label support. We're not expecting nor wanting to make a ton of money, but breaking even is becoming harder and harder. We'd love to be able to make music together the rest of our lives, and that's our ultimate goal.

Thank you for taking the time to read all of this and we hope to see you soon!

Christopher, Matt, Steven and Matt
