Monuments’ Andy Cizek Opens Up About The Current Struggles Of Being In A Band

Monuments vocalist Andy Cizek has taken to social media to open up about the struggles musicians have been facing in the modern era. He tweeted the following:

being in a band feels pretty stupid now. the culture is embarrassing and nothing about it is cool anymore. make almost no money and half my old heroes are disgraced perverts. I’ve worked my whole life for this and all I feel is ashamed, broken down and obsolete. barely hanging on

I’ll be fine. I still appreciate everyone who supports. I’ll keep making music. it is what it is.

Notably, a number of his peers have since chimed in with words of encouragement:

Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed):

I don’t know you but hang in there man, it’s always darkest before the dawn.

Chimp Spanner:

Big part of why I went down the job/career path. It's connected to music, but it allows me to decouple what I truly love from the need to survive. Which has been the healthiest thing for me lately. Sorry to hear all this though. You're a raw talent. Shouldn't be this way!
