About Crash Monument
Hailing from Costa Mesa California, Crash Monument is made up of four friends. Vocalist and rhythm guitar Brian Slocum, lead guitar and keyboardist Ron Villegas, bassist Matt Mitchell, and drummer Andrew Rotter. If you can say that these four unassuming talents have anything in common, it would be their desire to create music without boundaries, restrictions or ties to any specific genre. However, reviewers have done so by calling them Alternative or Indie rock. Crash Monument broke into the music scene in 2010 with their debut performance at the Yost Theatre in Santa Ana, CA. Since then they have been focused on touring Southern California and building a following in their local scene. They self released their debut album ‘Life Disconnected’ in December of 2010 with the single ‘The Build Up’, which is described by the band as a story of two lovers who come together against all odds. The shaping and building of a band such as Crash Monument was in the making for several years. Brian Slocum and Matt Mitchell are childhood friends who have played in various bands and in 2004 they met fellow music enthusiast and musician Ron Villegas. Not only were they experienced musicians but had become even better friends and brought Crash Monument to life in 2009. Within a few short months, an audition was held for talent as well as character to fit the band, and Andrew Rotter was the obvious choice to play the drums. The bands that affect and influence Crash Monument are as diverse and distinct as its members. The influencing bands range from Jimmy Eat World with their sincere melodies, Death Cab for Cutie’s descriptive imagery, Cursive’s raw ‘in your face’ approach, to Pinback’s use of technical time signatures, Propagandhi with their philosophical messages and Mars Volta’s incredible stage presence. Currently Crash Monument is playing local shows and focusing on writing new material for their first LP that should be released late 2012. There is also talks of a regional tour soon so stay tuned at www.crashmonument.com or facebook.com/crashmonument. www.crashmonument.com
