Side Projects
Since their breakup, Roadside Monument's members have participated in a variety of bands:
- Suffering and the Hideous Thieves is an experimental band founded by Jeff "Suffering" Bettger of another former Tooth & Nail band, Ninety Pound Wuss. Bettger writes most of the songs, but Ford and Johnson have also played in the band.
- Lorig was in the final lineup for Raft of Dead Monkeys, another band that Bettger fronted after Ninety Pound Wuss. Ford and Johnson also played in Raft of Dead Monkeys, a controversial band that broke up in 2001.
- Lorig has since played in the space rock band Black Eagle and currently fronts the grunge band Patrol.
- Ford was a founding member of the "doom hardcore" band Warlord and filled in on bass for them during live shows. He left Warlord before they recorded their lone full-length album, Rock the Foe Hammer, which came out in 1999.
- Ford filled in on bass for Pedro the Lion from time to time after Roadside Monument's first breakup.
- Ford is the core member of Unwed Sailor.
- Johnson is the drummer for The Out Circuit

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or projects:
“We shelter children for a time; we live side by side with men; and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.”
—Fay Weldon (b. 1933)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
