April issue of Boston’s The Noise has a review of Monument Thief’s ‘Your Castle Comes Down’
MONUMENT THIEF – Your Castle Comes Down 13 tracks
Jeremy Withers and Bill Paukert have a long history of making music together, but their latest project, Monument Thief, is probably their most direct and forward-thinking act to date. The band’s trademark sound is a fresh blend of pure and uncompromising rock ’n’ roll that borrows eclectically from the vast vernacular of the genre, incorporating elements of punk, hard rock and alternative.
One of the most interesting things about Your Castle Comes Down is that it allows listeners to take a peek into the kaleidoscopic song-writing sensibilities of the band. Tracks such as “Every Time” or “A Scene” are as gritty and punchy as early Nirvana, while songs the likes of “All On Me” or “Endless Debut” showcase the band’s ability to create memorable melodies, unlike artists such as The Cure or R.E.M.
Your Castle Comes Down is a classic-sounding yet remarkably diverse album that truly makes for an engaging and intriguing listening experience for fans of alternative music spanning all ages and currents.

Monument Thief was born from a love of British & American indie/alt rock circa ’89 – ’96 and the sound of fuzz pedals stacked on top of more fuzz pedals. Offering up a bevy of moody songs in mostly upbeat trappings, Your Castle Comes Down brings the shoe gazers and the star gazers together in an all out rock revelry
