In the beginning of the year 2009 the band released it's second single called "Stop Me" that was followed by a music video to the song. The video won for example Yle Music TV's public vote.
Monday's music combines different times and influences that the listeners can hear on the album "24 Hours In Pictures". The songs are composed by Gary. "When I started to compose songs it was my dream to get those out to the listeners some day. And now the time has come. The songs are overall a little bit "agonizing" and the lyrics in some songs tell about the traumas in the past that I bring out now though music. The lyrics in the album "24 Hours In Pictures" are both fictional and personal".
Monday's album is recorded at Scandal Recording studios by Kari "Huikka" Huikuri. The production is by Tuomas "Gary" Keskinen and Kari "Huikka" Huikuri. The co-production and mixing is made by Aku Sinivalo and Toni Kimpimäki at Sonic Kitchen studios (among others like Sunrise Avenue, Clarkkent and so on...).
