Winnipeg's Monuments Galore were a critically acclaimed live act and won 1986 CASBY Award for 'Best Non-Recording Act' despite having only played Toronto once before the Awards itself. The band quickly recorded and released the 'Young Girl Generation' EP.

1987 saw the release of an independent 7" single called "Peace And Harmony" featuring hand-painted picture sleeves.

The band finally released an album in 1989 on the Eureka Records label which launched several videos played regularly on MuchMusic including 'Sometimes I Wander' and 'Always On My Mind'.

The band split up in 1991 but reformed with Wallace and Hollderson as new members in 2000.
