"Monsters" led Something for Kate into Echolalia, the Australian indie rock band's third album, arriving as its first single in 2001. It climbed to No. 15 on the ARIA singles chart, and the industry took notice: the ARIA Music Awards nominated it as Single of the Year that same year, and the APRA Music Awards of 2002 shortlisted it as Song of the Year.
Its video, directed by Bart Borghesi, was up for Best Video at the ARIAs too, though it lost out to Eskimo Joe's "Wake Up". Triple J listeners didn't forget it: in 2013 they voted it 88th in the station's Hottest 100 of the Past 20 Years.
