The band commented, “‘Brighter Days (Are Before Us)’ is one of the ups in life where things are starting to shape up. If our upcoming EP Model Citizen was a movie, ‘Brighter Days’ would be the scene where everything in life is still good right before it all hits the fan. We were so excited to work with a female director, Sydney Ostrander, for the music video and the lighting in the airplane we filmed inside perfectly reflects the meaning of the song.”
This summer, Meet Me @ The Altar will embark on a massive U.S. tour supporting Coheed and Cambria & The Used and appear at Chicago, IL’s Riot Fest. In the fall, they will return to the road with labelmates All Time Low and nothing,nowhere. for a tour of North America. A complete list of upcoming live dates can be found HERE.
Meet Me @ The Altar announced their Fueled By Ramen signing last October in an exclusive interview with Billboard and unleashed their critically acclaimed major label debut single “Garden.” The song’s vibrant music video premiered on The FADER, and “Garden” graced best songs of 2020 lists by NPR Music, The FADER, Refinery 29, and more. Earlier this year, the band debuted the powerful single, “Hit Like A Girl” in partnership with Facebook’s Women’s History Month campaign. Meet Me @ The Altar has already been named an artist to watch in 2021 by Rolling Stone, NYLON, and more.
Crossing state lines and breaking all kinds of boundaries, the group’s members—Edith Johnson [vocals], Téa Campbell [guitar], and Ada Juarez [drums]—initially met online, bonding over the likes of Paramore and Twenty One Pilots and agreeing on a need for more representation in pop punk. Instead of waiting for somebody else to do it, they stepped up and became that representation as three proud women of color playing lightning fast riffs, pounding out double kicks, and chanting huge hooks.
Meet Me @ The Altar present a new musical and cultural paradigm for pop punk. The Florida-based trio—Edith Johnson [vocals], Téa Campbell [guitar], and Ada Juarez [drums]—write the kinds of anthems that you can scream along to at a festival, head-bang to in a club, or sit with while in your feelings at home. The women may have met via YouTube - in true modern-day fashion - but the band shares a classic mission. Flipping the script for rock music and its culture, they bring together elements of Warped Tour-era punk, 2010s pop, and easycore.
In 2020, early champions such as Halsey, Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low and Dan “Soupy” Campbell of The Wonder Years came forward as the trio inevitably inked a deal with Fueled By Ramen. On the heels of singles “Garden” and “Hit Like A Girl,” widespread tastemaker praise followed from The FADER, Rolling Stone, Nylon, and Stereogum. Meanwhile, Vulture predicted, “Meet Me @ The Altar make a convincing case that the future of pop-punk is Black, Latina, and female.” While amassing critical acclaim, they tirelessly wrote and recorded what would become their 2021 EP Model Citizen [Fueled By Ramen], set for arrival on August 13th.
Stay tuned for more new music from Meet Me @ The Altar soon.
