Ex-Monuments singer: "I will not miss the band"

Matt Rose, former vocalist of Monuments, has issued a statement regarding his recent departure from the band. Notably, Rose's seems to be on less than friendly terms with his ex-bandmates. Here you go:
"I actually left Monuments before the Born of Osiris tour started but decided to carry on for the best of the tour. I was growing increasingly frustrated at the work ethic of the band and at how little music everyone wrote. On our return from the tour we mutually agreed that it was best for everyone including me that we parted ways. I'm not sad at all about this ending and I certainly will not miss the band and all its dramas. My only disappointment comes from the bad blood that seems to have arisen since my departure, which is completely undeserved as I worked very hard whilst I was in the band. "'The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences' and I'm already very excited about starting other new musical projects and I'm very much looking forward to hitting the road and playing live with the Qemists who will be supporting Hadouken on their UK tour in April and will be playing festivals in Europe this summer. "My thanks and appreciation goes out to anyone who came to a show, bought a t-shirt or an album, or bought me a whiskey whilst I was in the band. I'd also like to thank my label Century Media and Avocado Booking and John Sprich at Euroblast for all their hard work."

LoydChristmas10 hours ago wtf is with all these dropout moron bands using the word "whilst" permalink | report abuse "Band dudes" nowadays is code for "rich college kids," the gayry on display in their press releases is just an easy way to confirm it

While you do need some degree of "talent" to do vocals, I find it laughable for a vocalist to complain about the songwriting output.

Pretty much the same thing that Neema and Greg said 2 years ago. Browne, go away. You're obviously a dick.

anonymous 3/28/2013 12:16:44 PM

That word you keep saying..I don't think it means what you think it means.

anonymous 3/28/2013 1:25:16 PM

Josh Travis on vocals for Monuments was the best they ever had.

anonymous 3/28/2013 1:45:57 PM

Whilst = while in the UK, someone from the US saying it looks like a pretentious tool shed.

HIT_ROCK_BOTTOM 3/30/2013 11:09:17 AM

yea bros, im not going to miss this 1 thing that has given me the opportunity to say things that people will actually read/care about. he should release another press release when he is working at walmart in 3 years and see if any news sites picks up on it

HIT_ROCK_BOTTOM 3/30/2013 11:10:52 AM

honestly i think they kicked him out because everybody hated his vocals haha. just go to ANY youtube video for this band 'monuments' and literally all the comments are about how gay his vocals are. every comment section is just filled with arguments about it so the rest of his band mates probably made a business decision. if the entire public says its broke, as a band you probably would want to fix it so you can continue to exist

anonymous 3/31/2013 8:55:57 AM

whilst... gay
