biography

Led by powerhouse vocalist Cassadee Pope, Hey Monday lace their infectious emo-pop with alt-rock guitars and slick studio production. The band formed in West Palm Beach, FL, where Pope was first discovered at a regional music conference. Although still in high school, the singer drew attention from A&R execs with her voice, which recalled the radio-ready wails of Avril Lavigne and Paramore's Hayley Williams. She then formed a band with fellow teenagers Jersey Moriarty (bass), Elliot James (drums), and guitarists Mike Gentile and Alex Lipshaw. Shedding their original name (Blake) in favor of Hey Monday, the group won over A&R exec Jay Harren, who signed the band to Columbia Records. Hey Monday then entered the recording studio with S*A*M & Sluggo, the production team behind albums by Metro Station and the Academy Is..., and readied the release of their debut record. Hold on Tight arrived in October 2008 under a joint partnership with Columbia and Pete Wentz's vanity label, Decaydance. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide

  - This band is nothing like Paramore. They're better. Sound BETTER, Cassadee Sings better. Their sound is unique. Comparing them to Paramore is like calling rap rock. It ISN'T!!!!

  - At first i knocked them for sounding like paramore and doing the Hayley Williams thing..but they're slowly growing on me. Especially since i found out that they are ownde by the same record company, "Fueled by Ramen", so they can't help but be similar..[and i know i spelled owned wrong] ;]

  - Hey Monday is great. I know they compare them to Paramore, but it is the truth because its a band with only one girl as the singer, and is also slowly becomeing even more popular just like Paramore and also their music is very similar.
