My wikipedia band broke up after a marginal response to the debut and follow-up EP. Seeing much potential in other areas of music, I branched off as a wikipedia solo artist.

* The band name references time travel experiments occuring in Montauk, NY (subject of songs "Montauk" by Bayside and "Meet Me in Montauk" by Circa Survive). This made me so giddy.
* "Just Like Heaven" is of course a cover of the smash hit by The Cure; much like The Ataris with "Boys of Summer", this will likely be the song I am remembered for, though it is not my own.
* Stanislaw Ulam is a prominent contributor to The Manhattan Project, which is but 20 minutes away from the Montauk Project, if we were going by city. Weird coincidence, cool story behind the song.
* Underwater Demolition is the only electronica/house track, drawing heavily off of the Water EP by Thrice.
* This Is Bigger Than You and I becomes a smash hit in both underground and mainstream circles, with the chorus sung obnoxiously loud by adoring female fans at acoustic shows, "I've been shrinking away, I've been out to dry. You've been deflated, I'm elated and you'll wonder why. My smile glows too bright for the human eye. Oh the irony is bigger than you and I."
Oh, and the song "Underdog" probably sucks as much as the movie did. And 23 babies were conceived to the song "Strawberry".
