Lync's music is credited with influencing the sound of later acts such as Modest Mouse, Roadside Monument, and The Promise Ring.

Roadside Monument was a Christian math rock band from Seattle, Washington who were signed to Tooth & Nail Records.

Before Roadside Monument began, singer Doug Lorig was involved in other bands.

Roadside Monument followed up their debut with their first full length Beside This Brief Hexagonal also in 1996.

Lorig, Ford and Johnson became the core of Roadside Monument, and its sole members in all future releases.

Roadside Monument broke up after the Cornerstone Festival in 1998, when Ford moved to Chicago, Illinois.

In 2002, Ford returned to Seattle, and Roadside Monument reunited as an indie band.

Throughout their history, Roadside Monument has had several clashes with some Christian bookstore chains, who cited their songs as being "controversial".

Many fans of Roadside Monument like the band because of their creative sound.

Lally left shortly after the completion of their debut album and was replaced by Jonathan Ford (Unwed Sailor, Roadside Monument).
