Natural Monuments is a rock 'n' roll band from Ypsilanti and Fenton, MI and Chicago, IL. Our debut EP, ..For Sanity's Sake.. is out now. It is available for purchase right here through PayPal. After the summer of 2007 we took a lengthy hiatus and are sort of back. Our true return is marked with a submission to Suburban Sprawl Music's 2009 Holiday Sampler, which will eventually be followed by a two song release of some sort, and hopefully a full length eventually... .. ........ .. ..SSMX09 ..2009 Suburban Sprawl Music Holiday Comp.......
