T.M.I. - Meet Me @ The Altar
Meet Me @ The Altar: A new generation of pop-punk on debut ‘Past // Present // Future’
Pop punk is a genre that has always been controversial in the music industry. Many people have debated what real pop-punk is and who belongs in the scene. But at the end of the day, the essence of pop-punk is all about taking the energy of the punk scene and mixing it with the fun and accessibility of pop. And no one embodies this better than Meet Me @ The Altar.
The band is a trio of girls who have been making music since finding each other online in 2015. They grew up surrounded by the sounds of Paramore, Pink, and Fall Out Boy, and they pay homage to those influences on their debut album titled "Past // Present // Future". The album acts as a flagpole in the ground for who this band is and where they plan to go next.
Meet Me @ The Altar's debut album is a mix of the past, present, and future. The influences of their childhood are threaded throughout the entire sound of the album, while the present is directed towards all their current successes, including signing to the record label of their dreams, Fueled By Ramen. The future looks ahead to what's to come after their debut album, as they still sing with the fearlessness of a band that hasn't considered the possibility of failure.
Their debut album is a fun and energetic collection of pop-punk tracks that are just quite simply enjoyable to listen to. And the band's latest release, "T.M.I.", is one of the catchiest songs of the year so far. The track has all the elements of a classic pop-punk hit, from its catchy hooks to its singalong choruses. Listening to the song makes you feel like you're back in the early 2000s, listening to bands like Busted.
Despite being a new band in a genre that can be tricky to tap into, Meet Me @ The Altar has proven that they belong in the pop-punk scene. Their music is fun, catchy, and energetic, and they have a clear vision of who they are and where they want to go. "T.M.I." is just one of the many tracks that showcase the band's talents and make them one of the most exciting new acts in music today.
