Interview: The Beautiful Monument Release Album 'I'm the Sin'

From the Ovaries to now The Beautiful Monument, the “bunch of complete weirdos” are a four-piece-all-girl alternative rock band hailing from Melbourne, Australia. Lizi, Laura, Shelby and Andy are refreshing faces and a powerful change to the industry. And the sad story of how their name came to be will leave you with admiration for these women. With their EP “The Lost” released in 2015 and their first full album debut, “I’m the Sin” released earlier this year, as well as a sold out show with I Prevail, they are a force to be reckoned with. Alternative Junkiee had the pleasure of interviewing TBM and getting to know them a little bit more. “Just do it. You get one shot to live your life, unless you believe in reincarnation; make the most of what you’ve got.” - The Beautiful Monument 1.     Why the name The Beautiful Monument? Who came up with the name? The name was established by Lizi and Shelby one night at a pub. It came about when they were ask...

So as YLD are miles away from Toronto, a face-to-face interview couldn’t be conducted; nonetheless, I was able to email YLD guitarist, Chris, and got this interview rollin' (thank God for the internet!).   How did Your Last Day form? And how did you guys meet? Matt, Ryan and I used to be in a P...
