OCTOBER 8, 2021 – Rising pop-punk trio Meet Me @ The Altar have unveiled an official music video for “Now Or Never.” The Dillon Dowdell-directed clip follows a raucous night as the band performs in a diner. Watch it now on Fueled By Ramen’s YouTube channel HERE.
“Now Or Never” appears on Meet Me @ The Altar’s critically acclaimed major label debut EP Model Citizen, which was released in August via Fueled By Ramen. The EP is available to stream and download HERE. Upon its release, Model Citizen earned widespread praise from The New York Times Magazine in a lengthy profile, Consequence who highlighted the band as their Artist of The Month, NPR Music’s All Songs Considered, and more.
The band previewed Model Citizen with the release of lead single “Feel A Thing.” Rolling Stone hailed the song as “a blistering track filled with flurries of double-kick drum hits and crunchy guitar riffs”, and UPROXX touted the track as “a reminder of why pop-punk became so popular in the first place.” Following the release of the EP’s second track, “Brighter Days (Are Before Us),” FLOOD Magazine proclaimed “the punchy single has an optimistic spirit,” while Brooklyn Vegan asserted “it’s got no shortage of huge hooks.”
Last month, Meet Me @ The Altar wrapped a U.S. tour supporting Coheed and Cambria & The Used and appeared at Chicago, IL’s Riot Fest. The band is currently on the road supporting nothing,nowhere., and next week they will embark on a massive North American tour with labelmates All Time Low. A complete list of upcoming live dates can be found HERE.
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 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 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 was named an artist to watch in 2021 by Rolling Stone, NYLON, and more.
